1972 Preliminary Tricycle Safety Study: Identifying Design Improvements for Child Safety1972-12-20unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_109_4_22_34_0002A preliminary study conducted by Calspan Corporation found that conventional tricycles can be unstable and lead to injuries, especially when a rider is standing on the rear platform. The study identified various design features that contribute to instability and recommended a stable tricycle design with a low seat and wide track rear wheels. The Bureau of Product Safety is drafting mandatory regulations for tricycles and mini-bikes to improve safety for children, as a significant number of children are injured in accidents involving these vehicles each year. Another study is proposed to evaluate and redesign tricycles and mini-bikes for improved safety.
