10 out of 12 Car Seats Fail!

This makes me crazy. Having now owned 3 different carseats and spending hundreds of dollars on carseats, I find out that 10 out of the 12 car seats just tested failed even in very low mileage tests.

Consumer reports just came out with this study in their new magazine. One chair did so badly, they recommended a recall on it - Evenflo Discovery Chair, but the two that didn't fail were the Graco Snugride with EPS and the BabyTrend Flex Loc.

The Good

Here's the whole story. Any seat is better than no seat - but it's better to buy wisely mama's. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070105/ap_on_he_me/infant_seats
