Child dummies used in certification dynamic tests have not been improved since their marketing and their approval as European regulation dummies. Their main shortcoming lies in a too high and therefore unrealistic stiffness of the torso front part. The paper addresses a study carried out in the aim of solving this problem. It includes two parts: Modified dummy kinematics significantly differs from that of the standard dummy when the probability of submarining occurence is high. Globally, the results recorded for the two transducers inserted in the abdominal section are similar for all tested configurations. The signals recorded will be presented and interpreted to highlight clearly submarining occurence conditions and to better analyse injury mechanisms of the abdominal section.
