So the Internet was lit up after that lovely bit of news about the safety of infant carseats by Consumer Reports. I looked at the video and was amazed at how not even close to a real accident they were. For starters, an infant carseat is usually installed in the back seat, y’know BEHIND the front seats, where they would provide a barrier to the seat flying around. And secondly, they have not posted any details of their testing, for wouldn’t you want to know why the carseat flew off its base?
This blog post, written by someone who has done extensive research (I was pointed to the post by a poster on an email list I read) and I agree with her points re: CR and carseats and how one should do the leg work in making sure your baby will be safe.
