We use this video a lot to prove that expired car seats should not be used.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvCRz7BRAM0"]YouTube- Car seat expiration[/ame]
After seeing and reading about other crash test videos, I question the validity of this one. The government crash tests the car seats at 30mph. Any time they crash seats at faster speed you all tell us not to worry and do some physics calculations to say that we don't have to worry about faster collisions. I obviously don't understand it, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Also, we saw marathons perform the same way in tc's tests going at 35 mph.
Does anyone know how fast the sled was going in this expired car seat video? Are there any other videos of crashed expired seats? Do you think this video is conclusive evidence that expired seats will fail upon impact?
