Car seat manufacturers don't add features to their seats to reduce misuse?
After seeing DH's cousin's baby's bucket seat seat this weekend with a rear adjust, too loose straps and straps onthe highest slot for a newborn, I was thinking about the logic of seat design.
With everything we know about how 80% of seat are misused, why aren't things like, non rethread harnesses, front adjusters standard on all seats? i just think that if all seats had the sliding harness like an EFTA and a front adjust like the SS1, many issues would be reduced and many children would be safer. For people like us on this board, we may not need a sliding harness, since we know where to position straps, but it would take the thought process out of it for the non-seat obsessed population.
I know this is all just hypothetical, but does anyone else have these thoughts sometimes? I just think it seems like common sense.
