Abstract: Safety belts should be worn by children at all times, particularly on the express way. However, it has been reported that the safety belt-wearing rate of children is only 30% on the express way, despite the need to have belts on constantly. It has also been reported that children aged 5~6 years old could be thrown out of the car if it were hit by an object at a speed of >50 km h–1. Therefore, some testing experiments were performed in accordance with code 2009~No. 0977 of the Products Safety Managing Act. Namely, 3-year-old dummies were used in the test. It was found that commercially purchased products are not made in compliance with requirements.
