Abstract

Child restraint devices (CRDs) have been used for many years to protect children in automotive crashes. In this study, data was collected to find out whether current restraints would be able to pass more stringent dynamic testing at higher changes in velocity (delta-v), such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) offset barrier test; and to look at one possible misuse mode. Three basic types of CRDs were sled tested at a delta-v between 57.5 and 61.4 kph (35.7 and 38.1 mph). Data from each test are presented and compared. Comparisons are made between each seat's sled test results and various countries' standards. (A)
