One for harnessing ? I think there was another rear-facing one made, right?

I recall we'd wanted to make one that was without some of the errors in the Kyle video, right?

I was thinking of some stuff that might make sense. Like pointing out that you wouldn't let your two year old play in the road, you wouldn't let your 3 year old use a steak knife (or maybe you would, but you know what I mean)...because we know these things are dangerous and little ones aren't mature enough to do them- and have something like "so, why would you put the responsibility of his life in his hands in the car"...or something pointing out that putting a kiddo who is too young for a booster in one, is just about the same thing.

Other ideas?

Is there a crash test (or animation) that shows what happens when a person's shoulder is not in contact with the back of the car seat and slack is introduced into the seat belt? If shots of that could be interspered with a normally happy and wiggly child emphasizing how often the child's shoulder is pulled forward to play with toys, reach something, hand something to sibling, etc. The connections might be made that even "good" travellers are unsafe most of the ride if they are just too young to sit with their shoulder all the way back without a harness. Perhaps finish with child in a fivepoint happily doing all the same things, but now safely.:twocents:
