Evaluation of the performance of a passive belt system designed to be force limiting and preloaded with regard to six-year-old sized anthropometric test devices (ATDs) is reported herein. The restraint system, including an energy managing knee bolster, was developed and demonstrated satisfactory performance when evaluated using adult sized ATDs in a small car (Chrysler L-body). This report addresses the special consideration of the problem of properly restraining the six-year-old sized ATD in a vehicle equipped with adult size restraint systems. In addition the results of sled tests of two prototype vest/belt restraint systems, one for handicapped occupants and one for the six-year-old size occupants, are presented.
