Car child safety seat, also known as Child Restraint System (CRS). It is a seat designed for children of different ages (or weights) and is installed in the car to improve the safety of children travelling in the car. Using a child safety seat can significantly reduce the risk of injury.

The European Child Restraint System Regulation UN129 takes the lead in introducing side impact protection requirements, and the new national standard also adds side impact protection requirements for children travelling in vehicles, and will be promulgated and implemented in the near future. The American Standard has also updated the child restraint system regulations and added side impact protection requirements.  eqo is the first to carry out the research and analysis of FMVSS213 child restraint system in lateral collision in China, and has successfully solved the technical problems such as side-impact curve and side-impact sponge, etc.  eqo  is now able to provide the side-impact and positive-impact service of FMVSS213 for child car seat manufacturers, which will help them to develop the U.S. market.

The major updates to the new FMVSS 213 Child Restraint Systems standard are as follows

❖The newly added side impact requirement is a 10 degree offset side impact collision with a crash speed of: 30.66km/h~31.94km/h, using the American Standard Side Impact Dummy Q3S;

❖ The seat dimensions and mounting anchorage points for the child restraint system have been changed considerably;

                      Original child seat mounting anchor points                      New version of child seat installation anchor points

❖The firmness of the seat cushions has also been altered;

                           Original test seat                                                                    New version of the test seat

❖It also clearly defines the foam requirements for side-impact door panels.

As the new FMVSS regulations will be implemented soon, Eqo has upgraded and perfected the AFSL FMVSS213 child seat testing capability, and has now started the AFSL child car seat side impact business. Eqo has upgraded and improved its FMVSS213 testing capability, and has now started the side-impact crash business for FMVSS child car seats.
