• Abstract:
  In 2014 NHTSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) requiring all child restraint systems (CRSs) seating children up to 40 lb to provide protection in side impact crashes. The proposed sled test simulates rear seat environment of the two-vehicle side crash replicated by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 214, “Side impact protection,” moving deformable barrier test of a small passenger car. Since then additional research assessed comments and research questions presented in the NPRM. This report addresses the changes incorporated in the test buck and test methodology from those that were originally released with the NPRM.
