    Win a Swedish rear facing car seat

    I'm not sure if this is against some kind of rule, if it is please let me know. It's all for increasing information about RF so it should be beneficial for overall safety. Helena over at rearfacing.co.uk is doing a competition at her site and the winner gets to pick a Swedish rear facing car...

    S/O from Fed. Law keeps Volvo from offering safer child seats - RFing in front seat vs. back seat

    That is the reaction of many people but reality is different. Rear facing in the front seat (AIRBAG DISABLED) has been proven many years ago by researchers to be as safe (or safer) than rf in rear seat. This is no longer even debated among researchers or in Sweden. Volvo has done an enormous...

    Sweden vs. USA Split

    I'm the annoying Swedish/American poster:D What's safer is a subjective debate since there are no tests of booster vs. harnessed seats for older kids. I know people in US believe harnessing older kids being much safer but people who work in the industry say differently. I should also point...

    Split: Sweden Harness vs. Booster Issues

    I think it's great you're thinking so much about safety but still have a dialog with your daughter about it.:thumbsup: Great advice from Jools, BW1426, and Snowbird25ca IMHO. A hbb back booster is safer than a lbb just as Jools say but the difference isn't huge. Better SIP and usually the...

    HWH vs. Booster. Again.

    Data comparing rf to boosters can't be fair, the difference in safety is humongous..... I think comparing HWH harnesses and BPB boosters are more relevant since those are often a choice. "Jeanum" has very good point, there are no crash tests done comparing HWH to BPB. According to crash test...

    Question What seat is this?

    Please excuse my ignorance but I ran into this weird looking seat the other day and have no idea of what it is. It was placed outside a car rental agency at the airport which makes me believe it's some kind of rental seat. Is it even a car seat? Anyone know?

    Boosters vs. 5-point harness

    It's been discussed here before (at length) but a harnessed seat is not any safer than a booster seat UNLESS the child is very young. Say 2 or 3 years old. The recommendations among experts over here in Sweden is to use a booster instead of a harnessed seat. Parents are also advised not to...

    Renting a car seat in Sweden - info and photos

    I've been asked a few times if it's possible to rent GOOD car seats in Sweden and responded by recommending Säkerhetsbutiken (crappy web site). I stopped by there yesterday to see if they do rent dirty, crappy, and unappealing car seats or stuff to rely on. It's not like everyone is heading...

    WWYD? Decrease children's traffic fatalities by half - how would YOU do it?

    All you car seat gurus, what would you do if given the task to decrease traffic deaths by half in U.S. for children who ride in cars? Time frame would be 3-5 years. You will have access to lots of money and you can build a company from scratch that will accomplish the task. How much money is...

    Information about FMVSS 213, ECE R 44, and Swedish "T" standard

    This was discussed in another thread where we discussed booster v. 5 pr. harness. I thought it might be interesting information for some. It's a summary of a conversation I had with an expert at a crash test facility. In case you have trouble sleeping some night, this summary will take care...
