  • availability of current anthropometric data for children

    Hi-

    I am working on a project to modify the Hybrid III 3 year old crash test
    dummy to represent the larger size of today's children. I have been
    searching for current anthropometric data to justify the modifications but
    have been unable to find anything more recent than that collected in the
    1970s (CPSC "Anthropometry of Infants, Children, and Youths to Age 18 for
    Product Safety Design." R.G. Snyder, L.W. Schneider, C.L. Owings, H.M.
    Reynolds, D.H. Golomb and M.A. Schork. Final report prepared for CPSC at
    UMTRI, 1977).

    If anyone knows if recent anthropometric data for children exists and where
    I can find it I would really appreciate the help. Thanks!
