Improvement Security BELT FIT FOR CHILDREN
Booster seats are to children so that safety belts designed for adults, increase in the correct position, back to kids during a crash.
Thirteen of the 41-belt positioning booster seats the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute assessed in October last year, has such a poor job improving the fit of lap and shoulder belts for children that the Institute does not recommend it at all.
Ten models are best bets and 5 are good bets. These evaluations are the first to consumers how well boosters of U.S. retailers sold belt fit for children to tell cars to improve vans, and SUVs. The Institute plans to continue these assessments.
"We the safety belt fit boosters provide, not rated crash protection, "says President Adrian Lund Institute." This is because unlike child restraints, boosters do not restrain children in crashes. They simply position children so lap and shoulder belts are in place to hold her back. "Good Booster Route via belt of a child bony parts, not soft parts such as the abdomen, which is susceptible to injury.
"We would expect, that the 10 best bets to improve belt fit for children in almost any car, minivan and SUV, "Lund. says:" Likewise, it is clear that children in the 13 boosters we do not get the full benefit not to recommend the improved lap belt fit. These boosters may increase restraint use by children more comfortable, but not position Belts for optimal protection. "
Researchers at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute assessed two types of boosters, backless and highback, under conditions which a range of 2001-06 model vehicles. Some high-backs convert backless and some boosters, called combination seats, can be used as child restraints be. Highback and backless modes were separately because each mode affects how belts fit evaluated.
More importance was assigned to lap belt fit. All Best-bet boosters find this belt on children's thigh. The main problem for the boosters, which are not recommended, it is from the lap belt partially or fully on the abdomen. Fit is important because a correctly positioned lap belt loads pelvic bones in a crash, not the stomach. A good booster also positions the shoulder belt midshoulder to keep the strap away from the neck so it does not chafe and reducing the likelihood that children themselves, by jeopardizing the belt behind their back or under his arm.
"Our data show it is possible to fit a booster with good lap and shoulder belt design," says Matt Reed, lead author of the study and author of Research Associate Professor at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. "Boosters that can not should be redesigned."
