A CD-ROM containing CSS installation instructions was obtained from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Their readability levels were determined using the SMOG test. The study demonstrated that the readability of instruction sets ranged from the seventh to twelfth grade levels, with an overall SMOG score of 10.34. No significant associations were found to exist between readability and seat prices. The authors thus conclude that CSS instruction manuals are written at a reading level that exceeds the reading skills of most American consumers.","PeriodicalId":89337,"journal":{"name":"Children, youth and environments","volume":"13 1","pages":"74 - 80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48951464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
