Booster Seat Study

Official Title

Shoulder Anthropometry and Reclined Postures of Children on Booster Seats

Purpose

We are seeking child volunteers to sit on booster seats on a mock-up vehicle seat. Measurements will be made of the position of seatbelts, booster seats, and child’s shoulders and hips. We aim to understand how booster seats and vehicle seat settings influence good vs. poor seat belt fit.
