Today the numerical simulation is an inherent part of the development of the passive safety of vehicles. It is understood that every modern dummy has a virtual counterpart. This study describes the development and validation of a LS DYNA model of the recently developed new-born child dummy Q0. The Q0 represents a six week old infant with a mass of 3.4 kg und was designed for the use with child restraint systems of group 0/0+ in frontal, lateral, rear-end and roll-over crash configurations. Compared to other new born dummies, the Q0 offers the opportunity to measure head, chest and pelvis accelerations as well as the upper neck forces and torques. So it is now possible to assess the protection level of child restraints of this group by using physical measurements on the dummy.
