Abstract Anthropometry plays an important role in human factors considerations for safe product design, particularly for the 31% of the U.S. population under age 19. This paper discusses two nationwide studies conducted for Consumer Product Safety Commission to obtain center of gravity, linkage, shape and functional body measurement data on 8154 infants, children, and teenagers representative of the U.S. population, for consumer product design, hazard assessment and guidance in establishing requirements or recommendations in standards.
