Please talk to me about why I'd want to tether my rear-facing seat to the front of the vehicle. I can totally see the benefits of tethering it towards the rear, but other than assisting with proper angle, I don't understand the crash benefits of forward tethering. I have visions of a springboard effect - the seat back moving down in a crash (not restrained at all by the forward tether) then stopping suddenly on the rebound (because it is held by the forward tether) and launching my child's head off the seat until it rebounds itself, causing it to impact the seat - instead of both head and seat moving together. Please tell me what I'm missing!
