Many Child Car Seats flunking crash tests

Marie5656 · 01-05-2007, 07:32 PM

Consumer Reports has released data on thier tests of 35 child car seats...most failed crash tests by overwhelming margins. Of the 35 there were only 2 they could reccommend.

Here is the article. http://health.yahoo.com/news/170547;...reII6miPRLvs8F

I heard a really interesting report on this on NPR's "All Things Considered" about an hour ago*. I was driving so the interview resonated somewhat. I can imagine right now there would be a few very worried parents checking their cars.

*It's replayed on one of the radio channels run by our national broadcaster in Australia.

This has received a lot of press here, Marie. I'm horrified that these manufacturers haven't tested their products with the same methods as C.R!
