Informal Group on Child Restraint Systems | Session 55 | 19 Nov 2015
Brussels
Agenda Item 10.1.
Status report on “simple seat belt path"

The document CRS-55-07 (not available) was presented during the meeting but will be available on UNECE web site later (after the Munich conference on the child safety).

Proposal of finding an elegant way to promote through the new ECE regulation the integral systems that shows the most lower rate on incorrect installations with the vehicle seatbelts.

For the integral forward & rearward facing, few families of type of restraint are established and the installation misuse rate is given.

The harness (under arms or with excessive slack) remaining issues even when correctly installed. For Boosters systems, the main issue is the seatbelt not on the shoulder. We have to avoid misuse by good design especially on the seatbelt and armrests for booster seats. We have to have reflection on forward facing multi-group systems because different seatbelt routes using the same colour code because both are forward facing installation and can be sources of confusions.
