DIMENSIONS OF CHILDREN AS RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS

The purpose of this survey is to provide important anthropometric information concerning dimensions of children. These are necessary for the design of child restraint systems in motor cars. Diagrams of 21 dimensions versus mass are derived from various literature sources. For the benefit of the designer these diagrams are given in a special chapter. /TRRL/
