Objective To investigate the purchase and use of child safety seats and the related influencing factors, and to provide a basis for preventing and controlling traffic injuries in children.Methods We randomly selected 2 urban and 2 rural kindergartens in Yixing City in June, 2017, and then chose 1-2 classes in each grade, including care, primary, middle and senior grades. The surveyed children ranged in age from 3 to 6 years, and 927 parents with private cars received a survey based on a questionnaire concerning the purchase and use of child safety seats and the related factors.Results Totally 37.43% of the surveyed parents in Yixing City purchased child safety seats, and the use and always use rates were 30.20% and 9.82% respectively. The purchase and use rates of child safety seats were found to be higher in families with children younger than 4 years old, higher level of parental education, higher income and higher-priced private car, showing statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The total correct rate of safety seat related knowledge response was 10.4%. 84.1% of the surveyed parents believed that relevant laws had to be legislated to realize the mandatory use of child safety seats when travelling with children in cars. 44.8% of the surveyed parents cared most about the quality when purchasing a safety seat for use, 39.4% considered that the most reasonable and recognized price was ￥501-, and 43.4% thought that special counters in mall were the most preferred channel for the purchase. The main reason for not purchasing a safety seat was that the child had less opportunity to ride in cars, accounting for 33.7%. The main reason for not using a child safety seat when a child travelled by car was that the child did not want to take a safety seat, accounting for 53.8%.Conclusions The purchase and use rates of child safety seats in Yixing City are found to be lower. The parents awareness of child safety seats is still low; moreover, they have a misunderstanding. It is necessary to intensify publicity and education regarding child safety seat related knowledge and adopt targeted legislation so as to improve the parents’ awareness of child safety seat knowledge, effectively use the standard child safety seat, and guarantee the safety of children when travelling in a car.
