Thumbs down Kia Sportage Commercial
Awful carseat misuse. There is a little girl asleep with a harness so loose she would fly out of the seat because her "chest" clip is at her belly button. Shame on them for not getting with professionals before shooting a commercial.

Re: Kia Sportage Commercial

Re: Kia Sportage Commercial
I saw this commercial tonight and was horrified. The looseness was similar to this bad picture from onestepahead.com, but the chest clip was significantly closer to the girl's belly button than her armpits.
