A statewide network of hospital-based low-cost car seat rental and educational programs, operated by volunteers, was begun in Vermont in 1979. In four years the rate of correct car seat usage by newborns at hospital discharge increased from less than 16% to 71%. High usage rates appear to continue in the first two years of life. It is hypothesized that availability of car seats, direct educational intervention in the hospitals, high visibility, and indirect educational processes in the community contributed to these changes. It is concluded that hospital-based programs should be included in comprehensive strategies to improve child passenger safety.
1979年，佛蒙特州启动了一个由志愿者运营的全州范围的医院低成本汽车座椅租赁和教育项目网络。四年内，新生儿出院时正确使用汽车座椅的比例从不到16%升至71%。在生命的头两年，高使用率似乎得以持续。据推测，汽车座椅的可获取性、在医院进行的直接教育干预、高曝光度以及社区中的间接教育过程促成了这些变化。结论是，基于医院的项目应纳入全面战略，以提高儿童乘客安全。
