And yet, new research by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland - Medical University in Bahrain has found that only 7.7% of the children wear the set belts while the vehicle is in motion.
The study, which highlights the dangers of not adhering to basic safety measures, finds, “For children who were in car accidents, 92.3% were not wearing seatbelts, and this caused 12.8% of the children to eject from the cabin of their vehicles.” The research assessed the condition of 1,328 children under the age of 14 who had visited the emergency departments of hospitals for trauma care.
