Paper Summary

Pediatric head injuries from child restraint seats (CRSs) are more common outside of car accidents than inside. In Canada, non-car accident CRS injuries are 7 times higher than those from car accidents. Most non-car accident CRS injuries happen from falls. Children in non-car accident CRS injuries are younger than those in car accidents.
