Conclusions and summary

8. CONCLUSIONS AND SUMMARY

The 6-year old dummy was well protected by compartmentalization. The 3-year and 18-month old dummies would benefit from a properly installed child restraint. 

The analysis of the data in this study suggests that children corresponding to Stages 1 and 2 would benefit from the use of properly installed children's restraint systems while travelling in a school bus. 

Results

7. RESULTS

The results are presented in Figures 2 and 3. For conciseness, these figures use CRS to refer to child restraint system and passive to refer to compartmentalization. The numerical results for each test appear beside the corresponding data point in the graphs. For the purposes of this paper, maximum values for head and chest accelerations are reported and analyzed.
