Samenvatting
Tests were conducted to provide information on the mechanics of child restraint with a five-point harness system. For anatomical reasons, the juvenile chimpanzee was chosen as the best approximation to the human child. While this animal model does not fully guarantee the indentical performance of a five-point harness system with humans, the test results support the opinion that the protection offered is comparable to that available to adult passengers wearing conventional automotive restraint systems.
