    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric orthopedics
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Child safety

    Background:

    • Congenital hip dislocation treatment necessitates prolonged spica casting in infants (3-12 months).
    • Standard safety seats are incompatible with spica casts, hindering safe infant transportation.
    • A critical need exists for accessible and safe mobility solutions for these children.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a modified child safety seat accommodating infants in spica casts.
    • To ensure the safety and structural integrity of the modified restraint system.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of Century child restraint models 100 and 300 by altering the plastic shell.
    • Removal and reattachment of seat padding to the outer shell.
    • Impact testing conducted at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.

    Main Results:

    • Impact tests confirmed that shell modification did not compromise the restraint system's performance.
    • Modified seats were successfully loaned to children at James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children.
    • Satisfactory results were reported from the use of the modified safety seats.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified safety seat provides a viable solution for the safe transportation of infants in spica casts.
    • This adaptation enhances mobility and quality of life for children undergoing treatment for congenital hip dislocation.
    • Further adoption of this modified restraint system is recommended for pediatric orthopedic patients.
