Current use of safety restraint systems and front seats in Korean children based on the 2008-2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Conclusion: Although the rate of safety-restraint-system use for children is increasing annually, it remains low. Additionally, the use rate of front passenger seats for children is high. To reduce the rates of injury and death of children from traffic accidents, it is necessary to educate on the appropriate use of safety restraint systems according to age and body size and to develop stronger regulations.
