Abstract
Percentile distributions of children's body measurements are presented for use in design and sizing of automobile restraint devices and as a basis for guiding parents in the selection of makes and models suitable for the child. The influence of these measurements on the stability, protection, and surrounding clearance dimension requirements for seating systems for children weighing less than 50 lb and those more than 50 lb are discussed.
