EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS. FINAL REPORT

The objective of the program was to test all types of booster seats currently on the market in 30 mph sled tests with test dummy occupants that represent nine-month old infants, three-year old, and six-year old children. Another objective was to evaluate different means for measuring pressures imposed by the restraints on the dummy's abdomen during impacts and to use the most promising ones in the evaluation of the performance of these restraints.
