Unintentional injuries, like transportation accidents, pose a threat to children and their parents alike. Researchers have been trying to better understand what happens during a crash in order to prevent and protect this age group from fatal injuries, especially now with a few different types of CRS available on the market. In this sled study, a dummy was tested using six different child seats in seven seating conditions. There were three principal directions of force:​ 0°, 30°, and 80°;​ full on frontal impact is 0° while almost side impact is 80°. Cameras were placed all around the testing bench to capture dummy kinematics. The videos collected were then prepared in Meta, a post processor, to trace the kinematics of the dummy’s head and other body parts. Because the cameras were only capable of capturing in 2D, usually, two separate views (overhead and side views) are necessary to re-create the kinematic in 3D. Using Meta and its functions allows for an easy adjustment to the rotated angle in 30° and 80°. MATLAB and Excel were used to convert units, adjust for sled’s movement, scale videos size, and overlay tracings. Statistical data such as body angle vs. time and maximum excursions were also produced. The resulting data suggest that different types of child seats and PDOF do, in fact, affect excursions differently. High back seats, especially the HBB Best Bet, tend to produce longer head excursions than the other seats. However, most seats like the other HBB and the LBBs are not far away from the HBB Best Bet. Other seat types like the Heightless and Inflatable produce unique excursions and patterns that traces the pattern of the No_CRS condition. These results question the performance and benefits of the Heightless and Inflatable. More research is still needed to draw any firm decision on these new seats, but for now, remaining with the classical designs of child seats is the better choice.
