Dear Mr.(sic) Charles: This is in reply to your letter of July 12, 1973, concerning children' car harnesses and car seats.; In response to your inquiry about the Auto-babe' car harness, it i our opinion that the harness is a Type III seat belt assembly under Standard No. 209 and we presently are investigating the product as an apparent noncompliance with the standard.; The next stage in the rulemaking on child restraints will be reache this fall with a notice of proposed rulemaking on dynamic test requirements. We will be interested to have your comments on this proposal when it is issued.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Acting Chief Counsel
