Abstract

Conclusions of the study are: 1) severe frontal crashes in which a child is properly harnessed in a properly secured child restraint are rare events; 2) child restraints that only meet static test criteria provide some injury protection in less severe crashes; 3) child restraints that meet dynamic test criteria provide excellent injury protection when used properly and still provide adequate protection in some misuse modes.
