On the basis of two surveys, the authors study the current status of children's restraint in cars, its consequences on the occurrence of accidental injuries and the ways and means of improving safety. The first survey conducted the long 1988 Whit Sunday week-end by the National police, has reviewed 800 accidental injuries, 9% of which concerning 134 children: 23 children only were restrained, and the comparison with the others allows to estimate the value of the protection insured by various systems of child restraint. The second survey, performed with 277 children of the kindergartens of the Vosges Department, has investigated how they travel in their parents' car: 10.1% report that they are always restrained. An educational campaign has somewhat improved the situation; however, due to the lack of support by the parents, it quickly deteriorated. A specific effort is to be done, in France, as it has been in other countries, where pediatricians are cooperating with policymakers in order to improve children's safety in cars.
基于两项调查，作者研究了儿童乘车约束装置的现状、其对意外伤害发生情况的影响以及提高安全性的方式和方法。第一项调查是1988年圣灵降临节周末期间由国家警察进行的，审查了800起意外伤害事件，其中9%涉及134名儿童：只有23名儿童使用了约束装置，将其与其他儿童进行比较可以估算出各种儿童约束系统所提供保护的价值。第二项调查针对孚日省幼儿园的277名儿童，调查了他们在父母汽车中的出行方式：10.1%的儿童表示他们总是使用约束装置。一场教育活动在一定程度上改善了这种情况；然而，由于缺乏家长的支持，情况很快又恶化了。在法国，需要像其他国家那样做出特别努力，在那些国家，儿科医生正在与政策制定者合作，以提高儿童乘车的安全性。
