I hope you not only discuss the car testing but also how important is it to have the right car seat for the specific child. And how to use the car seat. I think the most important thing is the child in the car seat and how it's installed verses the testing of cars. -
What is a good seat for someone that needs to switch cars frequently? -
My son is 6 not 40 pounds yet i have him in a booster that is still 5 point harness.. was given a brad new booster that uses a regular lap belt. Should i use that or sticl with the 5 point harness?
-
I just feel safer with the 5 point harness and able to put in the middle of the back seat rather than only option by the door.
-
What can you do to make booster seats safer when a child transitions from a 5-point harness seat, especially since modifications have been made to when a child can change & may meet the height requirement but not the weight.
-
What are the top 3 things I should look for in a vehicle when it comes to car seat considerations?
-
Are there any differences in safety in a side-impact crash vs a head-on collison?
-
Whats more important... a good car seat... or a good latch system.
-
Alot of parents buy the cosco brand.. whats your take on that.. btw my son was a preemie thats why hes still tiny at 6 .
-
All car seats a difficult to install, no matter what car you have. Has any car manufacturer ever thought about selling cars with their own car seats built in? Seems like a winner to me

We are trying to decide whether to buy a second car seat for my child who is close to the limit of her infant seat or transition her to my son's car seat and move him to a booster. My son is 4, and still has about 25 lbs before he hits the max for his seat (Maxi Cosi Pria 70). Is there any safety difference between a car seat and a high back booster?
-
Did you crash cars from all angles or just head-on crashes?
-
I have a question. In general, do car seats with a LATCH system perform better when they are forward-facing or rear-facing?
-
-
Y do you think so many cars underperformed in the IIHS testing
-
Wow- that was a scary story I just saw on 13. Why dosn't the govrnment create a single standard that all car manufacturers have to meet?
-
In general do the most expensive cars perform the best in your car seat crash tests?
-
I saw Nissan is listed. Is it all Nissans? I have a 2015 Versa Note.
-
Provided the car seat is installed correctly, do LATCH systems perform better than car seats attached with shoulder-seat belts in crashes?
-
what convertable (rear to forward)carseat is best for a 2011 dodge journey?
-
i am buying a used car soon and i am worried about the car seat where can i go for help putting it in
-
Is it safe to put a rear facing Car seat in the middle of the back seat of a f150 it does not have the latches in the middle but do on both sides can i use one from each side to secure the car seat base
-
I just watched the News 13 video and I just wanted to make sure that the good vs poor ratings for the cars they reported was for measuring the ease of installation of car seats, not a rating on how safe the LATCH systems are in those cars, correct??
