Abstract

A series of five crash tests with a properly or improperly restrained child or infant test dummy in a safety seat in the right front seating position of a vehicle are presented. For the properly restrained dummies, the safety seats provided excellent protection from the crash forces. For the improperly restrained dummies, protection ranged from adequate to non-existent, depending on the type of misuse.
