Objective Automobile booster seats are intended to improve belt fit for children that are too
large for a harness-style child restraint, but not yet big enough to fit properly in an adult seat …

Objective: Previous studies have indicated that gap between the seatbelt and torso (reduced
belt torso contact) for children on belt-positioning booster seats (BPBs) may lead to less …

Belt-positioning booster (BPB) seats may prevent submarining in reclined child occupants in
frontal impacts [1, 2]. BPB-seated child volunteers showed reduced lateral displacement in …

Objective The objective of the current study was to increase scientific understanding of rear-
seat passenger seating position, postures, CRS use, and belt use through a naturalistic …

Objective Our objective was to study the effect on child occupant kinematics and loading by
differences in booster cushion designs and attachment in a frontal impact. Methods Three …

Shoulder and lap belt scores have been previously quantified for anthropomorphic test
devices on belt-positioning booster seats; however, they may not fully discriminate between …

Objective Pediatric anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) are important tools for the
assessment of child occupant protection and should represent realistic child belt fit and …

Children assume a range of postures when utilising belt-positioning boosters, which may
influence belt fit and have implications for dynamic performance. This study evaluates the …

Child booster seats vary in size, shape and material, and the effects of these parameters on
occupant response are not well understood. Large-scale computational studies are a means …

Q-Series dummies, with Abdominal Pressure Twin Sensors, have shown limited ability to
discriminate differences in booster seats. This study investigated whether alternative static …
