After reading NHTSA's FMVSS213 results this morning, I'm feeling nervous about using a Regent. According to the testing (I'm using the 6 year old, tethered, seatbelt install as an example) the HIC and HE numbers seem pretty high. But then I read that there was something wrong with the test bench--well, shouldn't they have re-run the tests or left it out altogether? What kind of sense does it make to say 'these numbers suck but we're pretty sure they're wrong'?
As an aside, it's kind of funny how the chest load number, which was the big deal last time, is apparently just fine now
So. Your thoughts? Will you keep using it?
