TRAINING EXERCISE 1: SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE CHILD RESTRAINT AND HARNESSING THE CHILD IN THE CR

Instructions and Sample “Children”

Assign each students or team a “child”, including a description of the child’s age, weight, and any significant physical tolerance issues. Each student/team must then:

1. Select the appropriate child restraint system based on the age, weight, and any noted physical tolerances of the child and elaborate on the reasons for their choice of child restraint.

2. Assess the chosen child restraint for safety based on recall status, age of the CRD, and other aspects of physical condition.

3. Adjust the CRD (recline mechanism, harness slots, etc.) as needed for the manner in which it will be installed, and

4. Harness the child correctly in the chosen restraint (to the degree possible with available dolls).

Have the students or team use the following to guide their selection and assessment:

2. Pass a “child” with the index card (or the index card alone) out to each member of the class.

3. Ask each student to identify the appropriate child restraint system for his/her “child”.

Encourage participants to elaborate on the reasons for their choice of child restraint.

4. When participant has finished their explanation, allow the class to suggest other systems or issues that might be considered given the description of each child.

Materials Needed:

Index cards; Dolls or stuffed animals (optional props); Infant only CRSs; Car beds; Convertible CRSs; Forward facing CRSs; Booster seats; Various adaptive restraint systems for children with special medical or behavioral transportation needs.

TRAINING EXERCISE 2: VEHICLE OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEMS IDENTIFICATION

NC Basic CPS Winter 2004 Page 1 REV: 10/21/03

Name:_________________________________ Date:________________________

INSTRUCTIONS: Inspect all of the designated seating positions in each of the vehicles identified as being a part of this exercise. Look for occupant restraint, comfort, and convenience features built into the vehicle for the right front

passenger position, the center rear position, and either the left or right rear outboard positon. Look for and note:

• Does the restraint system consist of a lap belt only or is it a lap and shoulder belt combination?

• Is there a front and/or side air bag present at that position? Are there any air bag labels or present?

• What type of latchplate does the seat belt at that position have?

• What type of retractor does the seat belt at that position have?

• Is the seating position equipped with LATCH anchors?

• Is the seating position equipped with a tether anchor?

• Are there any other features at each position that may have an effect on the fit of the seat belt on an occupant or the comfort of a passenger. Look for features such as:

• Deep bucket seats or large humps

• Depth of seat cushion from seat back to front edge of bottom cushion

• Adjustable upper anchors for shoulder belts

• Adjustable head restraints

• Built in or fold down arm rests or consoles

• Seat belts anchored behind the seat cushion or forward of the seat back

B) contact the manufacturer for replacement or repair kit.

C) destroy the seat immediately.

D) both a and b.

9. The purpose of the harness retainer clip is A) to keep the harness from twisting.

B) at the top of the shoulders.

C) at or below the shoulders.

D) at the level that is comfortable for the child.

11. The primary reason that proper recline adjustment is maintained is A) to prevent the child from "ramping" up the back of the seat.
