A telephone survey was conducted in Montreal and Calgary to determine the extent to which parents use safety restraints for their children in cars, the types of restraints used and the factors associated with such use. Of the combined sample 39% reported that their child regularly used a restraint, and 47% of the children in Montreal and 55% of those in Calgary wore an age-appropriate safety device. Birth order and the child's and the respondent's ages were significantly related to the use of restraints. However, the respondent's use of seatbelts was the factor most likely to affect the rate of use of restraints for children. Although a large proportion of the parents with younger children owned a carseat, one in four did not use it regularly. Parents who did not use carseats believed they were useless or dangerous; many preferred to hold the child in their laps or arms. The seatbelt law in Quebec and the existence of a carseat rental program in Calgary appear to have had some influence on the rate of the use of restraints for children.
在蒙特利尔和卡尔加里进行了一项电话调查，以确定父母在汽车中对孩子使用安全约束装置的程度、所使用的约束装置类型以及与这种使用相关的因素。在合并样本中，39%的人报告说他们的孩子经常使用约束装置，在蒙特利尔47%的孩子和在卡尔加里55%的孩子使用了适合其年龄的安全装置。出生顺序以及孩子和受访者的年龄与约束装置的使用显著相关。然而，受访者使用安全带是最有可能影响孩子约束装置使用率的因素。虽然很大一部分有年幼孩子的父母拥有儿童安全座椅，但四分之一的人并不经常使用。不使用儿童安全座椅的父母认为它们没用或危险；许多人更喜欢把孩子抱在腿上或怀里。魁北克的安全带法律和卡尔加里的儿童安全座椅租赁计划似乎对儿童约束装置的使用率产生了一些影响。
