Description

The dynamic performance of devices that are intended to protect baby occupants of crashing automobiles is examined from an engineering point of view. Dynamic collision simulations were carried out with "baby" dummies restrained by each of three "baby" restraints that were readily available in Sydney. Further simulations were carried out on some experimental restraints. Strengths and weaknesses of the various restraints are explored and conclusions reached About the crash protection available to babies in New South Wales.
