[quote=Anonymous]My father is a (retired) biomechanic researcher who has spent YEARS developing crash-test dummies, testing child seats, working on safety restraints etc. He tells me that child safety seats are so excellent at what they do that everyone who rides in a car (adults included) should be in a child-seat-like device. Even when they are mis-installed, they do their job incredibly well. He tells us to let our kids wear their winter coats in their carseats. Pull the child-seat straps as tight as you can over the kid's coat (the coat should be squished down). Make sure the 5-point harness clip is right at nipple level. As long as you cannot slide the straps off the child's shoulders, you are ok. His opinion is that the hype over carseats and coats is just that--hype. [/quote]
