There are two statements I see fairly often that I would like some input on from others.
1. "Chest clips are designed to break open in a crash."
Are they really? I didn't watch all of the TC videos but in the crash test footage I have seen, I don't recall any chest clips breaking. Maybe, I did see them break but my brain didn't pick up on it. KWIM?
Can anyone clear this up for me?
2. Installing a seat more upright helps gain room in a harnessed seat.
From my experience (confined to two vehicles) to get more room to grow in a harnessed seat, I need to try to recline the car or vehicle seat more, not make it upright. The recline gets the kids to slouch a little. That could be only true of the car seats I have and/or vehicles I use.
I was wondering what other people have experienced.
Thanks for any input! Feel free to add your own, "is it a fact?" question if you have one.
