Differences in the kinematics of booster-seated pediatric occupants using two different car seats.

CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the overall response of the booster-seated occupant exposed to the same impact conditions was different depending on the seat used regardless of the size of the ATD. The differences observed in the response of the occupants between the two seats can be attributed to the differences in cushion stiffness, seat pan geometry and the different belt geometry. However, these results were obtained for two particular seat models and a specific CRS and therefore, it cannot be directly extrapolated to the generality of vehicle seats and CRS.
