Mini MPV —an abbreviation for mini multi-purpose vehicle —is a vehicle size class for the smallest size of minivans /MPVs. The mini MPV size class sits below the compact MPV size class and the vehicles are often built on the platforms of B-segment hatchback models. By the European definition, the mini MPV commonly consists of cars with two rows of seats, while in Asia mini MPVs with three rows are common. Sliding doors are sometimes also fitted to mini MPVs. Mini MPVs are also called tall-hatchbacks or small MPVs .
57-746: The Renault Triber is a mini MPV with three-row seating produced by the French car manufacturer Renault through its Indian subsidiary Renault India . It was introduced in India on 19 June 2019 and went on sale in August 2019. Developed under the body code "RBC", the Triber is built on top of the CMF-A platform like the Kwid . Despite that, the car is built with over 90% dedicated parts not shared with other Renault and Nissan vehicles since it
114-429: A booster seat , is a seat designed specifically to protect children from injury or death during vehicle collisions . Most commonly these seats are purchased and installed by car owners, but car manufacturers may integrate them directly into their vehicle's design and generally are required to provide anchors and ensure seat belt compatibility. Many jurisdictions require children defined by age, weight, and/or height to use
171-420: A restraint system intended to accommodate the child in a rearward-facing semi- recumbent position. This design distributes the restraining forces over the child's head and body, excluding its limbs , in the event of the frontal collision. For young infants , the seat used is an infant carrier with typical recommended weight range from 4 pounds (1.8 kg) to 35 pounds (16 kg). Most infant seats made in
228-458: A seat belt . Seat belts are engineered for adults, and are thus too big for small children. In the United States, for children under the age of 4 and/or under 40 pounds (18 kg), a seat with a 5-point harness is suggested instead of a booster seat. Booster seats lift the child and allow the seat belt to sit firmly across the collar bone and chest, with the lap portion fitted to the hips. If
285-406: A 5-point harness are considered safer than those with an overhead shield. Convertibles are not considered the best choice for a newborn because the bottom harness slots are often above the shoulders of most newborns. A seat with low bottom harness slots can be used if it is desired to use a convertible from birth. Rear-facing weight limits range from 9 to 23 kg (20 to 51 lb) depending on
342-415: A child restraint to be sold or used within any of the 56 UNECE member states it must be approved by the standards of UNECE Regulation 44/04, Directive 77/541/EEC or any other subsequent adaptation thereto. In order to be granted ECE R44 approval the child restraint must comply with several design, construction and production conformity standards. If approval is granted the seat can display an orange label with
399-423: A child to be restrained appropriately depending on their age and weight. These regulations and standards are often minimums, and with each graduation to the next kind of safety seat, there is a step down in the amount of protection a child has in a collision. Some countries, such as Australia and the United States, forbid rear-facing child seats in a front seat that has an airbag. A rear-facing infant restraint put in
456-421: A coat on the child backwards after buckling the child in. Straps on the harness should be snug on the child, parents should not be able to pinch the straps away from the shoulders of the child. The straps also need to be placed at the proper height for the child. A study of car crash data from 16 U.S. states found that children under the age of 3 were 43% less likely to be injured in a car crash if their car seat
513-459: A forward-facing seat with a metal frame to protect the child. Seat belts for adults were not standard equipment in automobiles until the 1960s. Child safety seats first became available in the late 1960s, but few parents used them. There are several types of car seats, which vary in the position of the child and size of the seat. The United Nations European Regional standard ECE R44/04 categorizes these into 4 groups: 0–3. Many car seats combine
570-493: A forward-facing seat, and some then can be used as a booster seat. Many convertible seats allow for 2.3–18 kg (5.1–39.7 lb) rear-facing, allowing children to be in the safer rear-facing position up to a weight of 18 kg (40 lb). Convertible safety seats can be installed as either rear-facing or forward-facing. There is a large selection available to choose from and weight limits, height limits, and extra features vary from seat to seat and by manufacturer. Seats with
627-438: A government-approved child safety seat when riding in a vehicle. Child safety seats provide passive restraints and must be properly used to be effective. However, research indicates that many child safety restraints are often not installed or used properly. To tackle this negative trend, health officials and child safety experts produce child safety videos to teach proper car seat installation to parents and caregivers. In 1990,

#1732881337965684-459: A parent's arms. The FAA and the AAP recommend that all children under 40 lb use a child safety seat on a plane. Booster seats cannot be used on airplanes because they do not have shoulder belts. Parents should not put children into safety seats with thick winter coats on. The coat will flatten in an accident and the straps will not be snug enough to keep the child safe. An alternative would be placing
741-559: A rear-facing seat until they have either outgrown the weight limit for their seat, or the top of their head is within 25 mm (1 in) of the top of the shell of the car seat. A permanent fixture in the car using an adult seat belt to hold it in place and a five-point baby harness to hold the infant. It is recommended that children sit rear-facing for as long as possible. In Scandinavian countries, for example, children sit rear-facing until around four years old. Rear-facing car seats are significantly safer in frontal collisions, which are
798-406: A roof-mounted air conditioner blowers. The roof bump is masked by the roof rail, making it less visible. The car is also designed with a faux- crossover look, which Van den Acker said "gives the car a much tougher stand, and brings it in an SUV sphere". It would also make the car appeal to consumers in India who prefers a high driving position and high ground clearance. In 2022, Renault introduced
855-527: A touch of sliding seat tomfoolery in the back.... what we are seeing with the mini-MPV is the re-invention of the hatchback, nothing more. It's a good idea, and long overdue, but that's all it is." In the late 2010s, the mini MPV segment has shrunk with many consumers opting to buy B-segment ( subcompact ) crossover SUVs that offer similar practicality with better design and capability. Many manufacturers chose to discontinue its models in favour of subcompact crossover SUVs, having 13 models in 2013 competing in
912-423: Is a larger and wider car in the CMF-A family. Laurens van den Acker , Corporate Design of Groupe Renault said the interior of the car is a "miracle" and refers to it as "a bit of a Leonardo da Vinci " as it offers three-row seating in a sub-four metre length. This was achieved by making the bonnet and engine bay as short as possible, making it not possible to fit a diesel engine or any larger petrol engine to
969-468: Is defined by the NHTSA as one in which all of the following apply: Crashes that meet all of these criteria are much less severe than the dynamic testing requirement for compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213 and are highly unlikely to affect future child safety seat performance. Child restraints are sometimes the subject of manufacturing recalls. Recalls vary in severity; sometimes
1026-570: Is due to the uncertainty with how a compromised child restraint will perform in subsequent crashes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) provides guidance on the reuse of child restraint systems after a crash. Replacement of child restraints is recommended following a moderate or severe crash in order to ensure a continued high level of protection for child passengers. However, recent studies demonstrate that child restraints can withstand minor crash impacts without any documented degradation in subsequent performance. A minor crash
1083-584: Is exported to nearby right-hand drive emerging markets such as Indonesia and South Africa. It was introduced in Indonesia on 12 July 2019 and displayed at the 27th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show from 18 to 28 July 2019. Renault received 1,033 bookings for the Triber at the show. The Triber started to be delivered to customers in March 2020. The RXZ trim of Triber in Indonesia has 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels unseen in other markets. The South African introduction
1140-561: Is small, several cars that match the description of a European mini MPV are marketed in the region as another category, as the 'mini MPV' phrase is not commonly used by journalists, manufacturers and regulators. An example is the Kia Soul, which is prominently marketed as a subcompact crossover SUV or a subcompact hatchback. In 2018, sales of mini-MPVs in Europe represented 1% of the total market. The top five selling mini-MPVs in Europe in 2018 were
1197-616: The Citroën C3 Picasso , and the Opel Crossland X replacing the Opel Meriva . Both offered more headroom and legroom space compared to normal B-segment/subcompact hatchbacks. B-segment SUVs usually ride higher, feature a higher and longer bonnet, equipped with black plastic overfenders or body kits, and marketed as such. Mini MPVs (also called small MPVs, sometimes also mixed or used interchangeably with compact MPV class) apart from

#17328813379651254-604: The Fiat 500L , Honda Fit/Jazz , Hyundai ix20 , Kia Venga and Ford B-Max . The sales trend for previous years is: In the United States, the mini-MPV category has included the Fiat 500L , with 30,000 sales from 2013 to 2017. In Canada, as of 2013, the market for mini-MPV's was not "large, and even the overarching minivan segment is gradually shrinking as the industry expands." Child safety seat A child safety seat , sometimes called an infant safety seat , child restraint system , child seat , baby seat , car seat , or
1311-792: The ISO standard ISOFIX was launched in an attempt to provide a standard for fixing car seats into different makes of car. The standard now includes a top tether ; the U.S. version of this system is called LATCH . Generally, the ISOFIX system can be used with Groups 0, 0+ and 1. In 2013, a new car seat regulation was introduced: " i-Size " is the name of a new European safety regulation that affects car seats for children under 15 months of age. It came into effect in July 2013 and provides extra protection in several ways, most notably by providing rearward facing travel for children up to 15 months instead of 9 to 12 months, which
1368-587: The 3 year-old respectively. Both restraints were installed using a three-point seatbelt, because the Triber does not offer ISOFIX anchorages in its basic safety specification. The Triber for the Indian market is available with double frontal airbags as standard and can be equipped with optional side torso airbags. ESC is not available on the Triber. The Triber does not offer three-point seatbelts and head restraints in all seating positions. ISOFIX anchorages are only available on higher variants. The African version of

Like motorcycle and race car helmets , child restraints are tested for use in just one crash event. This means that if the restraint is compromised in any way (with or without the child in it), owners are strongly suggested to replace it. This

The transmission options for the Triber are a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed automated manual gearbox. A CNG variant is expected to be introduced by December 2024 according to a company official. The Triber
1539-534: The Triber Express to the South African market. It is a light commercial vehicle variant that does not have rear seats and has a steel cargo cage that can be accessed through either the tailgate or the rear doors. The model has a claimed load capacity of 1,500 L (330 imp gal; 400 US gal) with a payload capacity of 542 kg (1,195 lb). The Triber is powered by an upgraded version of
1596-448: The Triber received 2 stars for adults and 2 stars for toddlers from Global NCAP in 2024 (based on Latin NCAP 2016). Mini MPV Mini MPVs are typically based on the platform of a B-segment (supermini/subcompact) hatchback, with a raised roof and five-door body. The raised roof allows for higher H-point seating and easy passenger access compared with traditional hatchbacks. Often
1653-580: The US can now be used up to at least 30 pounds (14 kg) and 30 inches (76 cm), with some going up to 35 pounds (16 kg). In the past, most infant seats in the US went to 20 pounds (9.1 kg) and 26 inches (66 cm). Infant carriers are often also called "Bucket Seats" as they resemble a bucket with a handle. Some (but not all) seats can be used with the base secured, or with the carrier strapped in alone. Some seats do not have bases. Infant carriers are mounted rear-facing and are designed to "cocoon" against
1710-430: The age of 4 years. This has contributed to Sweden having the lowest rate of children killed in traffic in international comparisons. According to Canadian law, and some US states , children must be restrained until they are 4-years old and 40 pounds (18 kg). After the requirement is met, they may use a booster seat instead. Well being is central with regards to car seats. Check for vehicle situates that have passed
1767-477: The back of the vehicle seat in the event of a collision, with the impact being absorbed in the outer shell of the restraint. Rear-facing seats are deemed the safest, and in the US, laws vary and children must remain in this position until they are at least 1 year of age in most states and at least 2 years of age in many states. More states are implementing a 2 year minimum. It is always recommended to keep them rear-facing until at least 2 years old or until they outgrow

1824-400: The car . Each year, between 30 and 50 infants die of heat illness and hypothermia in the United States after being left in a car. Baby car seats are legally required in many countries, including most Western developed countries , to safely transport children up to the age of 2 or more years in cars and other vehicles . Other car seats, also known as "booster seats," are required until
1881-404: The car. Carrycots or infant car beds are used for children that cannot sit in a regular baby seat, such as premature infants or infants that suffer from apnea. A carrycot is a restraint system intended to accommodate and restrain the child in a supine or prone position with the child's spine perpendicular to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle. Carrycots are designed to distribute
1938-421: The car. The car's width is spanning at 1,739 mm (68.5 in) to maximize cabin space, especially in the second row where three people had to fit comfortably. The stretched wheelbase and the reduced overhang also contributed to the spacious cabin space which Van den Acker claimed is around 3 metres long. The second row seats comes with a reclining and split folding function. There is a dedicated AC vent for
1995-505: The cars matching the European definition could also include B-segment MPVs with three rows of seats with the length shorter than 4.2–4.3 metres (165.4–169.3 in). They are also sometimes equipped with rear sliding doors. This category is common in Japan, Southeast Asia and India, where cars with a smaller footprint and large cabin space are preferred. Although mini MPV presence in this region
2052-473: The child is large enough to use an adult seat belt. This is usually, but not always, when the child is 135 cm (4.43 ft; 53 in) tall. The child needs to meet five criteria before moving out of the booster seat, including the child's seating position, shoulder belt position, lap belt position, knee position, and ability to sit properly for the length of the trip. Generally, countries that regulate passenger safety have child safety laws that require
2109-498: The child's size. In practice, child restraint systems must be able to be fitted to the front, or other rows of seats. Seats equipped with layers like energy-retaining foam and supported side-influence confidence focus on your baby’s well being. Extra highlights, for example, customization outfit structure and against bounce back bars modify welfare and solidness. High belling principles give cognitive state, guaranteeing your child’s security outweighs everything else during car rides. For
2166-940: The event of a collision. There are also 3-in-1 car seats that can first be used as a rear-facing baby car seat, then as a forward-facing seat, then finally as a booster seat when the child reaches the recommended height and weight. Unlike many booster seats, 3-1 car seats may use the LATCH system to be secured inside the car. Some consumer groups are calling on manufacturers and retailers to phase out backless boosters, as it says they do not provide enough protection in side-impact crashes and could put children at risk. So while backless booster cushions are better than using no child seat at all, they do not provide adequate protection in all circumstances. Used for Groups I, II and III. After reaching one year of age and 20 pounds (9 kg), children may travel in forward-facing seats. Most Scandinavian countries require children to sit rear-facing until at least
2223-412: The event of a sudden deceleration. Although some parents are eager to switch to a forward-facing child seat because it seems more "grown up," various countries and car seat manufacturers recommend that children continue to use a rear-facing child seat for as long as physically possible. Convertible seats can be used throughout many stages. Many convertible seats will transition from a rear-facing seat, to
2280-643: The front seat of a vehicle places an infant's head close to the airbag, which can cause severe head injuries or death if the airbag deploys. Some modern cars include a switch to disable the front passenger airbag for child-supporting seat use. Directive 2003/20/EC of the European Parliament and the Council has mandated the use of child-restraint systems in vehicles effective May 5, 2006. Children less than 135 centimetres (53 in) tall in vehicles must be restrained by an approved child restraint system suitable for
2337-456: The frontal crash test, but footwell intrusion and rupture was insignificant. The Q1.5 dummy which was installed rearward-facing scored full points in the dynamic test, but the Q3 dummy was installed forward-facing and its head crossed excursion limits, showing poor protection. The recommended child restraints for the test were Britax BabySafe Group 0+ and Britax Duo Plus Group I for the 1.5 year-old and

2394-465: The larger groups 1, 2 and 3. Some new car models includes stock restraint seats by default. Group 0 baby seats, or infant carriers, keep the baby locked up in a rear-facing position and are secured in place by a standard adult seat belt and/or an ISOFIX fitting. Group 0 carrycots hold the baby lying on its back. Carrycots are secured by both seat belts in the rear seat of the car. Both types have handles to allow them to be easily moved into and out of
2451-548: The manufacturer and country of origin . Forward-facing limits range from 9 to 40 kg (20 to 88 lb) depending on the seat model and the manufacturer and country of origin. All convertible seats in the U.S. have at least a 35 pounds (16 kg) rear-facing weight limit, most now to go to 40 pounds (18 kg), and some go to 50 pounds (23 kg). The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children remain rear-facing until they outgrow their convertible seat, regardless of how old they are. Children can remain in
2508-424: The manufacturer will send an additional part for the seat, other times they will provide an entirely new seat. The purchase of a used seat is not recommended. Due to the aforementioned concerns regarding expiry dates, crash testing, and recalls, it is often impossible to determine the history of the child restraint when it is purchased second-hand. Children traveling by plane are safer in a child safety seat than in
2565-543: The most likely to cause severe injury and death. Rear-facing Group 1 car seats are becoming more widespread but are still difficult to source in many countries. A larger seat than the Group 1 design. These seats use an adult seat belt to hold the child in place. Also known as booster seats, these position the child so that the adult seat belt is held in the correct position for safety and comfort. Booster seats are recommended for children until they are big enough to properly use
2622-411: The previous EU regulation advised. Since the first car was manufactured and put on the market in the early 1900s, many modifications and adjustments have been implemented to protect those that drive and ride in motorized vehicles. Most restraints were put into place to protect adults without regard for young children. Though child seats were beginning to be manufactured in the early 1930s, their purpose
2679-461: The quality of warning labels and deactivation systems for front-passenger airbags. 2013: New EU I-Size regulation is introduced: "i-Size" is the name of a new European safety regulation, UNECE Regulation 129 that affects car seats for children under 15 months of age. It came into effect in July 2013 and provides extra protection in several ways, most notably by providing rearward facing travel for children up to 15 months instead of 9 to 12 months, which
2736-618: The rear seats can recline, slide, tumble, fold flat or easily be removed, allowing users to reconfigure the rear passenger and cargo volumes for each journey. The segment was created as a result of the diversification of minivans in the late 1990s. An early usage of the term mini-MPV was in 2000, although the vehicles referred to at the time would now be classified as compact MPVs . Writing for The Daily Telegraph in 2004, noted automotive journalist James May wrote that mini-MPV's "are invariably based on an existing hatchback, but offer more headroom, extra 'oddments storage'... and perhaps
2793-410: The rear-facing car seat height and weight, whichever is longer. Group 0+ car seats commonly have a chassis permanently fixed into the car by an adult seat belt and can be placed into some form of baby transport using the integral handle if it is the specific model. Rear-facing child seats are inherently safer than forward-facing child seats because they provide more support for the child's head in
2850-414: The restraining forces over the child's head and body, excluding its limbs , in the event of a big crash. It must be put on the rear seat of the car. Some models can be changed to face forward after the baby has reached the weight limit which is normally about 15–20 kg (33–44 lb). Carrycots generally include a stomach belt and a connection to the (three points) safety belt . Infant carrier means
2907-416: The seat belt is not across the collar bone and the hips, it will ride across the neck and the stomach and cause internal injuries in the event of a collision. There are two main types of boosters: high back (some of which have energy absorbing foam) and no back. A new generation of booster seats comes with rigid Isofix (Latch) connectors that secure to the vehicle's anchors, improving the seat's stability in

In terms of practicality and its basic form, this category often overlaps with the similar B-segment ( subcompact ) crossover SUV . Several manufacturers have introduced a crossover SUV to replace mini MPVs in Europe due to dwindling sales; the examples are the Citroën C3 Aircross , which replaced
3021-419: The third row of seats, armrests and charging sockets. The third row can be removed altogether to liberate up to 625 L (38,140 cu in) of boot space. One of the difficult parts of the development of the Triber is maximizing the headroom for the third-row passengers, as the space is usually occupied by the rear hatch door hinge mechanism. The rear part of the roof is raised, allowing more headroom and

However, until May 9, 2008, member states may have permitted the use of child restraint systems approved in accordance with their national standards. Euro NCAP has developed a child-safety-protection rating to encourage improved designs. Points are awarded for universal child-restraint anchorages ISOFIX ,

It is offered in RXZ variant. The Indian-manufactured Triber was tested in its most basic safety specification for India (double frontal airbags, no ISOFIX) by Global NCAP in 2021, and scored four stars for adult occupant protection and three stars for child occupant protection. The vehicle's passenger compartment became unstable during
3192-443: Was fastened in the center of the back seat rather than on one side. Results were based on data from 4,790 car crashes involving children aged 3 and younger between 1998 and 2006. According to data, the center position was the safest but least used position. The move from having car seats in the front passenger seat to having them in the back seat, facing backwards, may make it easier for a busy, distracted parent to forget an infant in
3249-418: Was not the safety of children. The purpose was to act as booster seats to bring the child to a height easier for the driving parent to see them. It was not until 1962 that two designs with the purpose of protecting a child were developed independently. British inventor Jean Ames created a rear-facing child seat with a Y-shaped strap similar to today's models. American Leonard Rivkin, of Denver Colorado, designed
