I'd want to see tons of testing before I'd ever let my children ride in one...but I am glad that we're getting closer to having front-seat safe carseats -- having that option would have made life SO much easier in more than one occassion!

LOL, didn't even see that...it'd still be a cool idea, IF they could get a design that was just as safe as what we have now for backseats.

I'd have trusted it in front of an airbag, yup. But the seat itself was very short and narrow and would in no way have lasted most (any?) kids to the bare minimum of a year to go forward facing, so there was really no point in it. The inventor of it moved on to invent the Radian

Is that the chest clip all the way down at the baby's crotch?! Nice.

(Of course if you didn't know XSCI was 'the airbag safe infant seat', this wouldn't have meant anything)
