[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she doesn't have an issue with it, I don't see any reason to push it. She's a small kid the seat is safer. Even as an adult I had a nasty bruise on my shoulder from the belt when I was in a car that was rear ended, a five point harness wouldn't have that.[/quote] Right the kid would have nasty bruises on both shoulders. [/quote] There is also evidence that a 5-point harness causes more neck injury because only the head moves forward in a crash. Believing that any safety technology is by definition safer, especially if used in an unusual and unstudied way (like a 5-pr harness for an older child) is more about anxiety and superstition than anything else.
