This study examines the relationship between seat restraints and injuries of children and infants who were passengers on an aircraft and gives a detailed analysis of children whose behavior contributed to an accident. A total of 58 accident reports from 1980 until 2015 were extracted from the NTSB online database in which children were mentioned. In at least 10 cases the childs behavior contributed to the accident. Violations of regulations by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) as well as the age and number of children and infants on board were each reported inconsistently. Violations of regulations were significantly more common when accidents occurred during the takeoff phase. Child behaviors that caused accidents included distraction of crew, not wearing a seatbelt, and running into dangerous areas. Pilots and crew, especially in General Aviation, need to be made aware of the need to enforce FAA regulations concerning child restraint systems. It is recommended that children both on the ground and inside an aircraft have adult supervision in addition to supervising aircraft crew to prevent distractions that harm the safe operation of an aircraft.
本研究考察了飞机上儿童和婴儿乘客的座椅约束与受伤之间的关系，并详细分析了导致事故发生的儿童行为。从 NTSB 在线数据库中提取了 1980 年至 2015 年的 58 份事故报告，其中提到了儿童。至少有 10 起事故是由于儿童的行为造成的。联邦航空管理局（FAA）的违规行为以及机上儿童和婴儿的年龄和数量的报告不一致。在起飞阶段发生事故时，违规行为更为常见。导致事故的儿童行为包括干扰机组人员、不系安全带和进入危险区域。飞行员和机组人员，特别是通用航空中的飞行员和机组人员，需要意识到需要执行 FAA 关于儿童约束系统的规定。建议在地面和飞机内的儿童都要有成人监督，此外还要监督飞机机组人员，以防止分散注意力，从而危害飞机的安全运行。
