NHTSA CHILD SAFETY ACTIVITIES
Restraints for various age groups of children, such as belts and child seats are discussed, and dynamic tests with anthropomorphic dummies are described in this paper. Plans for additional restraint studies and biomedical research are described. Public information programs to increase restraint usage by children are presented along with a discussion of behavioral countermeasures dealing with the pedestrian and bicyclist/motor vehicle accidents.
