[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it were up to safety experts, we'd all be in five-poinz harness car seats with side protection.[/quote]

This is not true. Five points harnesses are safest for babies and young children. There is no evidence that a car seat is safer for older kids.  In fact, some studies indicate that having a seatbelt that works as intended attached to a car is safer than a five point harness attached to a car seat. [/quote]

Airline pilots, fighter jet pilots and race car drivers also wear five point harness seats. They are superior to what we use in cars.[/quote]

But the choice isn’t five point harness in car v regular seat belt in car. The choice is five point harness in a car seat v seatbelt in a car. Those are very different things with very different outcomes, mostly due to the car seat installation and ability to withstand staying attached to the car appropriately with a larger child. [/quote]

I’m assuming proper installation and a seat that fits the child.[/quote]
