Child Restraint Systems for Civil Aircraft

Abstract

Child restraint systems have been developed to provide protection to children involved in automobile crashes. These systems are not yet approved for use in civil aircraft. Six typical systems were exposed to controlled impacts on a test sled to simulate aircraft crash conditions; these systems were inverted to simulate turbulence. A special test seat was developed to represent an aircraft passenger seat for these tests. The results of the tests and characteristics of the child restraint systems that are critical for civil aircraft applications are discussed.
