In order to increase our understanding of the injury mechanism in the child occupant, three year old child model was developed using commercial dynamic package DADS. Total 14 segments and 12 joints were used to compose a model in three points belted condition with booster seat. HYGE sled test case was simulated to validate the developed model. Based on the comparison of the model and published test results, the developed model appears to be a resonable representation of the three year old dummy.
