Modular child restraint
The participant will be asked to install two different child safety seats into a vehicle, presented to the participant one at a time (random order). The researcher will explain that the participant should install each seat to the best of his/her ability and may take as long as needed. When each installation is completed, the participant will be led away from the vehicle while their work is evaluated by a study-team approved researcher who is a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST). A data collection form will be used to document any installation errors. Following the installations, participants will complete a short survey with open-ended queries to describe facilitators or barriers they experienced while installing the seats, as well as what they liked or did not like about each seat. They will use a Likert scale to rate their self-efficacy in installing the seats, if they believed they were installed correctly, general ease-of-use, and which seat they preferred.
