Notice of Public Meeting to Address Identification and Publication of the Relative Safety Performance of Different Child Restraint Systems

摘要

On February 9, 2000, NHTSA will conduct a public meeting to discuss the safety performance of child restraint systems and options for providing consumers with information on the safety performance of different child restraints. The intent of this meeting is to allow the sharing of viewpoints, information, and ideas on this important subject among all interested members of the public, including industry, government, and advocacy groups. Topics to be discussed include voluntary standards, strategies for enhancing compliance margins, improved labeling, and possible ways of rating child restraint safety performance. We also plan to discuss possible means of notifying consumers about any ratings that are developed, as well as other relevant safety information. We anticipate that improving consumer awareness of these matters will lead manufacturers to improve the safety of their child restraints.
