Agenda Item 25.
Securing of children in buses and coaches

44. The expert from the Russian Federation encouraged a full discussion on how to secure children in buses. He suggested the use of flexible straps to move the effective anchorages in height and facilitate the transport of children in school buses. He announced a presentation for the December 2018 session of GRSP. The expert from Germany stressed the relevance of the issue and the high number of recent casualties of children in bus crashes. He underlined that securing children with two-points safety-belts was not enough and that a new type of CRS should be designed accordingly. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its December 2018 session on the basis of an exchange of research data and statistical analysis, to be provided by the experts of contracting parties (e.g.: France, Sweden and United States of America).
