Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 213, 'Child Restraint Systems,' specifies minimum performance standards for child restraints. The current standard does not address the use of three-point belts with booster seats, nor the use of boosters in rear-facing seats. The study tested belt-positioning booster seats using four sets of anchorage locations. Three of the sets represent the average, maximum, and minimum anchorage locations found in a fleet vehicle survey conducted at the Vehicle Research and Test Center. The fourth set of anchorages corresponds to the specifications found in European Economic Community (EEC) Regulation 44.
