Cause I know you all are curious...

First of all the seat naked, well as naked as it could get, the end of the harness by the hips is totally encased in the shell, guess there is no exchanging the harness.

Down to the damage

Close up

That spot on the shell

More stress where the tether attaches to the seat

Tether

More on the tether

I didn't know if there was a picture limit in one post so here are some more of the seat. These aren't crash related but since I had the seat and camera out thought you'd be interested.

Here's the funky harness cover

It goes into the harness slots like this and the harness goes through the holes

Back of the harness cover

That's all for now!

Wow... it looks like the seat really rubbed up against the front seats. Glad it kept him sooooo safe!

I must admit I don't really understand the harness thing at all. lol

I saw that Judi offered up her XTSL if you needed to try it out... I'm offering up transport services if you need it! lol

I'm so glad everyone is walking and it must be so awesome to see how well he faired... you've done a wonderful job protecting him!
Cracked ribs for both you and your mom... At the very least he would've had harness bruises if he'd been FF... his poor neck!

It loops through the appropriate harness slots then the harness feeds through the actual covers, they're a tube. It is kinda confusing and they didn't really stay in place.

I wonder if it's because the TWE moved or if the front seat it was braced against moved?

That's how the strap covers were on the Nania Airways.

I'm glad it did it's job, that's all any of us can hope for in crashes I guess. Have you decided what you're getting? I can't remember.

My guess is that it is a combination of both. I'm always surprised by how much seats move in crashes despite being installed tightly. I know vehicle seats move in crashes too. What happened with the harness covers?
