Booster Seat Safety

With the correct use of child restraints, 75 percent of child death and injury in vehicle crashes can be prevented. In accordance with a recent Ontario booster seat law, Magna Aftermarket Inc. approached George Brown College’s School of Design students and Director Luigi Ferrara to conduct research on Magna’s booster seat prototype, along with developing educational programs and print materials to encourage proper use. Working with the University of Windsor and supported by Auto 21, the School of Design developed research instruments to test children’s and families’ reactions to Magna’s prototype.
