Carriages and Strollers Regulations

1 The method to be used for testing each occupant restraint system for strollers is as follows:

• (a) securely affix the stroller so that it cannot move;

• (b) secure the roller block fixture with the lap belt of the stroller (Figure A);

• (c) mark the lap belt in any manner to allow observation of any loosening;

• (d) apply a force of 200 N in a direction normal to the belt (Figure B), in such a way as to allow the rollers to rotate freely, applying the force within a period of one second and maintaining it for 10 seconds;

• (e) note any loosening or breakage of the fastener of the lap belt;

• (f) repeat steps (d) and (e) nine more times at one second intervals;

• (g) repeat step (d) using a force of 450 N applied within two seconds;

• (h) note any breakage or detachment of the anchorages;

• (i) apply a force of 225 N to the restraint system, using any possible method, in a direction that places strain on one anchorage attachment point, applying the force within a period of two seconds and maintaining it for 10 seconds;

• (j) note any breakage or detachment of the anchorage; and

• (k) repeat steps (i) and (j) for each of the remaining anchorage attachment points.
