Agenda Item 18.
Securing Children in Buses and Coaches

36. The expert from Spain, Chair of IWG on Safer Transport of Children in Buses and Coaches (IWG-STCBC) introduced the status report of the Group (GRSP-74-01). She confirmed that the second phase of the UN Regulation would entail Child Restraint Systems (CRS) in combination with two-point safety belts. She clarified that separate components on CRS for installation would not be allowed, nor combinations of two-point belts and top tether or support leg. Moreover, she explained the ongoing and upcoming IWG activities on test procedures. Finally, she introduced a proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/30) of revised ToR of IWG-STCBC. GRSP agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its May 2024 session and endorsed the revised IWG ToR (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/30) without amendments, that would be highlighted by the GRSP Chair at the March 2024 session of WP.29 for endorsement.
