Childcare Safety Seats Crash Tested - Presented By The...

Every year, tens of thousands of children are injured in traffic accidents, in most cases because they are not strapped into the correct safety equipment. For Volvo, child safety has always been a major focus, and its safety engineers and designers are consistently looking into implementing new safety features and measures to ensure the safe transportation of child and adults alike.

@rybreadsmommy This is Rybreadsmommy and my now almost 5 year old daughter is still sitting in the Graco Natulis 5 point Harnessed at 58lbs. and my 15 month old daughter is still rearfacing at 20lbs 4oz and 28 inches and will be till she hits the 35lbs mark.=)

Relevant, comprehensive safety tips and information. However, it would be additionally helpful to have targeted safety information for gestating women, who commute themselves most times alone. Proper distancing of seat from steering wheel, safely positioning seat to optimise comfort, lumbar support and afford safe handling of vehicle under normal, or defensive driving conditions taking the advent of a pronounced stomach into account. Emergency awareness tips while driving with other children.

Putting your infant in the front seat....?

@MorganandEedna

Not bad in Europe since our airbags have key switches, so can be deactivated, and having a calm child in a rearfacing seat in the front seat has been found to be safer than a calm forwardfacing child in the rearseat. You need to look at real world crash studies.

@rybreadsmommy this is Rybreadsmommy on my other account and my daughter is now 4 years old and still in the Graco Natulias and still Loves it. she is 46 lbs and 46 inches tall.

In Sweden most people do not use harness when forward facing, it is not recommended here because it puts more pressure on the neck in a crash. A lot of the rear facing seats goes to 55 Ibs/25 kilos. My son is 5 years and 3 months, he is RF in a Britax Two Way, the biggest RF car seat.

The harness in Eu seats are different. Chest clips are not needed.

Actually, neither is true. In all my years in France, I've never seen warnings about thick coats. Also, I used to have a European seat and no, the straps were not closer. The chest clip usually breaks on impact so there's "second step". Besides, it's a shame they favor the convenience of the emergency personel *after* an accident rather than think of the safety of the child BEFORE anything happens.

[lenats31]

EU parents are becoming aware of the dangers of thick coats. There is much speculation about what is safest: booster or harnessed FF seat. These Swedish seats go RF to 55 lbs with tether straps and all.
