Requiring child restraint systems with internal harnesses to be labeled with guidance on delaying the transition to booster seats as long as possible. 3. Mandating the establishment of side-impact crash testing standards for child restraint systems, including booster seats, and the development of a test dummy to approximate a 6-year-old child for such testing. 4.
