Child seat

One device that has reduced injuries from the second crash and saved lives is the seat belt. Seat belts became mandatory in 1968. Initially there was only a lap belt. By the 1980s a combined lap belt and shoulder harness became the standard. Eventually, lap belts expanded to rear seats. The combined lap belt and shoulder harness eventually became the standard for rear seats. The belt designs fit adults. Infant and child seats slowly evolved so that adult belts served as the primary restraints for them. Additional belts systems in child seats provided restraint to the seat for a child. [Pg.179]

Infant For children weighing up to 9-10 kg and up to 66-74 cm tall Infants outgrow this seat when they exceed the weight maximum or when their heads are <2.5 cm below the top. Faces rear-ward only. Comes with or without base portable, Inexpensive, and can be used as baby carrier. Never use a rear-facing seat in a front seat where there is an airbag. Harness straps should be flat and snug on the child. Seat needs to be secured tightly with the safety belt or LATCH restraint system. [Pg.383]

Automotive rear seatbacks are a highly regulated safety item. Regulations include the European Community Regulation 17 (ECE R17), and the equivalent North American Federal Motor Vehicle Safely Standard (FMVSS) 207. Further requirements relate to child seat restraints, such as the FMVSS 225 and the Australia Design Rule ADR 34, where an upper tether requirement for child seats is specified. [Pg.749]

False. In the UK children under the age of 12 years, or below 135 cm in height, must be seated in an appropriate seat and wear an appropriate seat harness. A child over three years of age may travel unrestrained in the back of a car in which rear seat belts are not required to be fitted. In the USA, age limits for seat belt use vary between states. [Pg.56]

Isabetta acknowledged me with a careful lack of expression, but she did invite me to be seated, which was both gratifying and unexpected. The child, aged about five, huddled close to her mother, alarmed by a stranger. [Pg.79]

The Flemish painter David Ryckaert s portrait of an alchemist (Figure i6) combines the untidy desk littered with vanitas symbols, the vase (here containing not urine, but the coming-to-form of a homunculus), and the wife. Like Madame de Lavoisier, the wife peers over the shoulder of her seated husband. In Ryckaert s work, the alchemist wears an expression of horror. The glass contains a little man, or perhaps the devil. The wife raises her hand in dismay. Meanwhile, in the corner, a child blows a pig s bladder, a common symbol of futility. [Pg.102]

These primary schoolteachers emphasized the limits to their involvement in the family through focusing on the individual child to be educated. Importantly too, they saw themselves as working in partnership with parents with the expectation that families were in the driver s seat ... [Pg.56]

Well, it was, is, and will be while the name of Art endures. He was supporting himself unsteadily with one hand on the table, while with the other he put his guests in their seats. I thought of a child playing with dolls. [Pg.18]

To make this point concretely, we will describe our partitive and quo-titive tasks in Sarah Squire s next experiment. These tasks were about seating a class of girls at tables for the school dinner. In both tasks the dividend was the number of girls to be seated. In the partitive task the divisor was the number of tables available and the quotient which the child had to identify was therefore the number of girls who would have to sit at each table. For example, for the sum 12 — 4, the problem would involve twelve girls sitting around four tables. So the final grouping is by tables and the number of tables is the divisor. [Pg.194]

Mrs Jackson finished a meeting with the headmaster of her son s school. This was the third meeting since the start of this academic year. Her son John, who is only six years old, started school two months ago. Whilst his teachers could understand some hyperactivity in a six-year-old child, they expressed serious concerns regarding John s disruptive behaviour in the class. They found that John was having difficulty in focusing and was unable to remain in his seat, even for a short period. Mrs Jackson was very upset about all this and decided that John should see the family doctor. A diagnosis was made and the drug, methylphenidate, was prescribed. [Pg.15]

I am reminded of a wonderful example. In the motion picture The Last Emperor, when the emperor was still a young child, he used his potty-seat. His physician examined his fresh stool and immediately announced "no meat, no tofu." What he saw were signs of excess heat and dryness in the stool. Instead of ignoring a minor imbalance, he changed the young emperor s diet to prevent greater disharmony and possible future illness. [Pg.19]

The little Messerschmitt 175 was produced by the former German aircraft manufacturer. It had a Plexiglas canopy which was lifted for entry. Later versions used a pivoting front seat for better entry and exit. The Messerschmitt had two wheels in front and one in the rear. It could accommodate an adult and a child. More features were added later including soft-top and four-wheeled versions. [Pg.86]

There was no limit to the inventiveness of Lovell s small group of hell-raisers. Many of their ideas seem in retrospect so preposterous that one wonders how anyone could have taken them seriously. OSS anthropologists were asked to report on the area of social behaviour most sensitive to Japanese. They concluded that nothing embarrassed a Japanese more than the smell of his own excrement. OSS chemists made up a compound which perfectly reproduced the smell of diarrhoea. This revolting liquid was then packed into collapsible tubes, which were smuggled into Chinese cities occupied by the Japanese army. When a Japanese officer walked along the street, the OSS reasoned, a small Chinese child would steal up behind him, and squirt the liquid at the seat of his trousers. They christened the device the Who Me bomb. [Pg.270]
