Although most countries recommend transitioning children from rear facing (RF) to forward facing (FF) child restraints at one year of age, Swedish data suggests that RF restraints are more effective. The objective of this study was to compare RF and FF orientations in frontal sled tests. Four dummies (CRABI 12 mo, Q1.5, Hybrid III 3 yr, and Q3) were used to represent children from 1 to 3 years of age. Restraint systems tested included both 1) LATCH and 2) rigid ISOFIX with support leg designs. Rear facing restraints with support legs provided the best results for all injury measures, while RF restraints in general provided the lowest chest displacements and neck loads.
尽管大多数国家建议儿童在一岁时从后向式（RF）儿童安全座椅转换为前向式（FF）儿童安全座椅，但瑞典的数据表明后向式安全座椅更有效。本研究的目的是在正面雪橇试验中比较后向式和前向式方向。使用四个假人（CRABI 12个月、Q1.5、Hybrid III 3岁和Q3）来代表1至3岁的儿童。测试的约束系统包括1）LATCH和2）带有支撑腿设计的刚性ISOFIX。带有支撑腿的后向约束系统在所有损伤指标上都提供了最佳结果，而后向约束系统总体上提供了最低的胸部位移和颈部负荷。
