After the crash (frontal impact at 50 km/h), the belted dummy remains protected in its seat.
In many countries around the world, it is compulsory for vehicles to be fitted with safety systems that are adapted to the size and weight of babies and children. With infant carriers, child seats and booster seats, there are suitable products on the market for every age and stature of child. The benefits of these systems are undisputed.
Impact with speed 50 km/h
What happens in an accident if a child is not secured at all is illustrated by a recent crash test at the comparatively low speed of 50 km/h that is common in urban areas. While the properly secured child dummy is restrained by the seat belt and additionally protected by the child seat, the unsecured dummy flies through the vehicle and hits it several times.
Good fuse can save lives
Therefore, the experts appeal to all parents to secure their children in the vehicle carefully and properly. The seat must be suitable for the weight and size of the child and should definitely be tried out in the child's own vehicle before purchase.
