The study looked at how using child restraints in cars affects the likelihood of children getting injured in crashes. The researchers analyzed data from hospitals to see if children in crashes who were properly restrained were less likely to be hurt. They found that children who were not in proper restraints were more likely to be injured in car accidents. This shows that using the right child restraints can help protect kids in case of a crash.
