Knowledge and beliefs regarding child safety legislation Only 36.1% of parents were able to correctly identify that the maximum fine for seating a child in the front
seat of a vehicle is 15 Kuwaiti dinars (approximately US $50). In fact, 37.5% of parents agreed that ‘‘it’s ok [to have a child in the front seat], as long as his/her seat belt is put on’’. Over 12% of parents indicated that they had been given a ticket for seating a child in the front seat in Kuwait and over 25% agreed with the statement, ‘‘If there were no police around, it’s not necessary to wear a seat belt’’ (Table 4). Over three-quarters of parents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement ‘‘The government of Kuwait should introduce legislations to ensure child safety’’ and 77.1% responded that raising awareness about child safety in vehicles in Kuwait is needed (Table 4). Police officers and teachers were among the multiple groups chosen by parents as important for raising awareness to deal with the problem of child safety (Table 4). Among the sources for information on child safety in vehicles, the internet was most commonly chosen by parents as the most useful source (36.4%, Table 5).
