29. The expert from France, Chair of the IWG on Enhanced Child Restraint Systems (ECRS), introduced: (i) the status report of the progress of his group (GRSP-55-34-Rev.1) and (ii) the latest update of the draft 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 129 that incorporates provisions for booster seats (GRSP-55-08, superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/7). The expert from OICA gave a presentation (GRSP-55-35) on a possible child restraint fixture, covering booster seats for children older than 4 years. GRSP agreed to refer GRSP-55-08 back to the IWG and to resume consideration of this agenda item at its December 2014 session on the basis of an updated proposal submitted by the IWG on ECRS.

5. | Work on phase 2
4. | Work on phase 2 of UN R129

Concerning lateral protection, the group initially proposed to have side protection for children up to 135 cm. This choice will imply the use of Q10 in side impact. Q6 covers a size range up to 125 cm.

Discussion took place on this topic. Q10 has an adaptation kit for side impact. Römer-Britax highlights the fact that side protection for a Q10 is not considered in existing seat. The size of the dummy should make difficult to control head containment during side impact. Dorel reminds that the Q10 head’s position is always above the 5th percentile female dummy heads in all cars investigated by the ISO working group.

During the meeting, for all discussions & decisions, the document CRS-41-03e was updated for a version available under CRS-41-04e
