CHILD RESTRAINT DEVICE WITH ENERGY ABSORBING REGIONS

摘要

Energy absorbing webbing (42) is provided for use in child safety seat (30) and child restraint devices. A harness system includes energy-absorbing regions (42) into the construction of the harness to allow some release or extension of the harness during use. The energy-absorbing regions (42) of the harness are formed using energy- absorbing webbing in a given region or regions to permit the webbing to extend or elongate so that strong forces are not fully and directly imparted to the child. The energy-absorbing region (42) may be installed at various positions within the child safety seat (30) and harness system and may be incorporated into the child safety harness as original equipment or as a retrofit feature.
