I am having a major fight with dh about why to take heavy coats off the kids in the car. I have sent thim articles about what can happen etc., but he doesn't believe "experts". He wants proof that a coat will cause the seat to fail, as in he wants to know if anyone has done a crash test to prove it. I even showed him car seat manuals that say to avoid bulky clothing and that the seat will provide no protection if the harness is not secured properly. I have told him to go put dd in her seat without her coat after he takes her out with it on, but he won't. I really do not know what to do anymore. He says he just won't take them anywhere, but what happens if I'm at work and there is some kind of emergency??! I really need to know if there has ever beenany kind of study or crash test done about this sort of thing, otherwise I think I am up a creek without a paddle.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
