Samenvatting
U.K. legislation will require front seat car occupants to be restrained. This may lead to increased use of adult seat belts by children. As a result of safety propaganda and the difficulty of fitting U.K. manufactured child restraint systems in the front seat, the majority of restrained children travel in the rear seating positions. This paper seeks to approach the problem of younger children by reporting the results of a series of simulated crash tests and comparing them with known U.K. accident performance of child restraints complying with BS.3254- 1960.
