Through numerous collaborations and participation to working groups, the CASPER consortium has been one of the actors in the European area of child safety. A large amount of data has been collected, analyzed and disseminated according to the needs of the different groups, and some have already been included in the proposal for the text of the new regulation. This paper intends to make an transversal analysis of some specific items through the data available in the different tasks of the project, such as child safety and airbags (frontal, side, curtains), situation of ISOFIX systems, protection of the abdomen and analyse of specific systems such as shield systems or seatbelt adjusters. A larger focus will be made on items that have not yet been presented during the dissemination workshops of the CASPER project or for which complementary information has been made available. 2017-04-19 15:45:56 Child occupant safety Child restraint systems Design Practice and Management not elsewhere classified
