NeuRA is looking for Sydney area parents who are planning to purchase a new child car seat and want to help all children in Australia travel as safely as possible. You do need to live within 2 hours of Sydney, have a current driver’s license and be one of the child’s primary carers. The two seats in the study are the Britax Compaq for 0-4-year-olds or the Britax Maxi Guard Pro for 6 months-8 years.

• You talk on the phone to a researcher and check if you are eligible.
• You purchase the car seat online through a secure and encrypted payment website via NeuRA (E-way).
• They will deliver the car seat to you within 5 working days, along with some study materials.
• They then leave you to use your car seat for 6 months.
• After 6 months, NeuRA researchers will get in touch and arrange a home visit at a time that suits you. They will do a safety check of the car seat, and do a quick survey. They will give you feedback if anything could be done more safely. The home visit takes about one hour.

That’s it! After the home visit, they will notify E-way, and you will get a refund of $100 to the account or credit card you used to purchase the car seat.
