A sled test program was conducted to re-examine the test procedure for evaluating child safety seats relative to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. A sled buck representing the rear seat of a typical late model automobile was developed and several parameters were investigated, primarily to determine whether or not the FMVSS 213 procedures should be updated to better represent today's seating and/or crash environment. Dummies representing 6 month, 3 year, and 6 year old children were tested in infant, toddler/convertible, and booster child safety seats. The effects of several vehicle seating, restraint, and crash parameters were measured. Significance of these parameter effects was estimated by comparing response variations from parameter changes with corresponding variation attributable to experimental repeatability.
