Older Children's Sitting Postures, Behaviour and Comfort Experience during Ride - A Comparison between an Integrated Booster Cushion and a High-Back Booster

Sitting postures and comfort experience were analysed from six children aged 7-9 (131-145 cm) seated on an Integrated Booster Cushion (IBC) and a high-back Booster (hbB) during 1 hour on-road drives…

Kinematics and shoulder belt position of child rear seat passengers during vehicle maneuvers.

This data provides valuable knowledge on possible pre-impact postures of children as a result of vehicle swerving maneuvers for a variety of restraint systems.

Kinematics of Child Volunteers and Child Anthropomorphic Test Devices During Emergency Braking Events in Real Car Environment

The forward displacement was within the same range for all children regardless of stature and restraint system, however, the maximum forward position depended on the initial seated posture and shoulder belt position on the shoulder.

Development of an Active 6-Year-Old Child Human Body Model for Simulation of Emergency Events

One contributing factor to head injury in restrained child occupants is pre‐crash maneuvers and active child human body models (HBMs) can be useful tools to design pre‐crash interventions with child…

Safety for Children in Cars – Focus on Three Point Seatbelts in Emergency Events

Child safety in vehicles has improved over time. One of the main factors is due to the increased restraint use by children. Nevertheless, studies show that although children are restrained, injuries…

Evaluation of 6 and 10 Year-Old Child Human Body Models in Emergency Events

These HBMs, originally intended for crash simulations, are not too stiff and could be able to reproduce properly emergency events thanks, for instance, to postural control.

Active Spine Modeling Representing a 6 Year-Old Child

In a car crash, properly restrained forward facing children may sustain head injuries due to contact with the car interior. Emergency events such as braking and steering will influence the kinematics…

Older children's sitting postures when riding in the rear seat

An on‐road driving study comprising six children aged 8‐13 years (138‐150 cm) was conducted to increase the understanding of children’s natural sitting behavior during a car ride. Each child was…

Naturalistic Observation of Children in Cars: An International Partnership

It is well known that in the rear seat of cars, small children squirm, slide, slump, sleep, play and interact with their fellow passengers. Our previous findings from a pilot study show that children…
