[quote=Anonymous]From a car seat tech:

This is really a hit job on Evenflo when the actual issues are buried in the article. A booster isn’t meant for a small child, and parents are switching kids too early. EVERY car seat company has a marketing department competing with the engineers at times, and there are many high back boosters that would perform exactly this way. It’s really a shame they didn’t present this as an overall issue with boosters vs harnessed seats.

I'll also add that some of these crashes sound very severe. We don't know how other seats would have fared. We don't know how a kiddo in a harnessed seat would have come through- and what if kiddo was 3, so young enough to be rear facing, would that make a difference vs forward facing harnessed vs boostered? I think some of this article brings up some very real issues: 1) the need for an updated NHTSA standard that includes side impact testing, 2) the need for some manufacturers to stop pandering to marketing and sales and focus more on safety, 3) the need for better education among parents and caregivers so they know that putting a 30lb 2yo in a belt positioning booster is not the correct choice.[/quote]
