Abstract
This final rule amends Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) (Standard) No. 213, "Child restraint systems," and adds FMVSS No. 213a, which is referenced by Standard No. 213. This final rule fulfills a statutory mandate set forth in the "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act" (MAP-21) that directed the Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by delegation) to issue a final rule to improve the protection of children seated in child restraint systems during side impacts.
