 OT - Consumer Reports has its own recall Safety seat tests were flawed: http://www.cnn.com/2007/AUTOS/01/18/car_seat/index.html Apparently their tests simulated a 70 mph side crash instead of 38 mph as intended. Amazing that any of the seats passed.      |

Any car seat that can pass a 38mph test at 70mph should get an extra Gold Star. Those that fail at 70 should be tested again to see if they pass at 38, where they were supposed to have been tested in the first place. Instead of a Recall, they need another test for those that failed, and a Strong Recommendation for the units that passed. |

But, I have a daughter with a friend from a severely dysfunctional family, and she has a new baby that my wife and I am helping with. We could use a child seat because our own kids (girls) are in the baby-making age group. |

Okay, but mashing MY inner child into a car seat is a bit over the top. Surely you get the point. |
