SECTION 2
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
This report presents FMVSS 213 compliance inspection and test data obtained
on the Orbit Baby, Inc., Infant Car Seat, Model ORB803000 child restraint system. The
restraint was dynamically tested in the following configurations:
•
Twelve month-old dummy, rearward-facing, attached with the child restraint
anchorage system (LATCH) and base
•
Twelve month-old dummy, rearward-facing, attached with a lap belt and base
Inversion testing was performed in both the forward Y-axis rotation and in the
lateral X-axis rotation for the following configurations: Newborn-size infant – rearward
facing, reclined; 12 month-old size – forward facing, upright; 3 year-old size – forwardfacing, upright.
The results of the inspection and testing of the Orbit Baby, Inc., Infant Car Seat,
Model ORB803000 child restraint met or exceeded the requirements of FMVSS No. 213
when tested in accordance with TP-213-09 in the configurations and conditions
documented in this report.
Restraint system inspection, dynamic sled testing and inversion testing were
performed by MGA Research Corporation in Burlington, Wisconsin. Compliance test
data sheets for all tests are found in Sections 3 and 4 of this report.
