Forward facing roundabout on the driver's side, rear facing comfortsport on the passenger side. Best guess on the CS, it was hard to tell, but I think I recognized the cover.

ETA: Oh, i thought there weren't any LATCH bars, but definitely could be wrong, I was paying more attention to the other side.

Pink Comfort would be my guess, maybe one of the FF coso combo seats?

The shape's wrong for a Comfortsport - I say it's this one.

It looks taller than a roundabout, could it be a decathlon? I don't see latch bars, either, but do see the lockoffs.

I agree, a pink cosco seat, and a marathon or decathalon. I didnt notice the lack of LATCH bars, off to watch again

i found another site that has the pics. I believe it is an older style MA, there are no latch bars, but it has hugs so its not a roundabout.


There is also a black booster carseat in there. Same style as the pink one. I'm thinking they are the cosco ones posted above.

The seat in question has the new style lockoffs And I believe the marathon always had latch bars. So, I say decathlon. I wonder if it was a hampton cover? I can't see whether there may be stripes on it or not.

Wanted to add: It looks as if the black cosco seat was the one in use, as Mom said that there were 2 kids in that middle row, one driver side, one passenger side. So, it is the pink cosco seat that was "destroyed" and in looking at the still pics, you can see where it is pretty much flat on its back, and crushed down by the roof of the vehicle. It also looks as if it might have been strapped in?

And the Decathlon is Odyssey print, IIRC.

I think you are right, Kay. It does look like that light blue odyssey print

Must've been one hell of a tree.

"We are definitely a really big fan of really big strong car seats," parent Kelly Braun said.

Funny, how come they have Cosco crappy harnessed things then?


Notice the article calls it a minivan in the headline and a "1999 Honda Accord SUV" in the body?

The three car seats in the pictures are the three seats the mom says her kids were sitting in. There was a fourth car seat in the back row on the driver's side that nobody was sitting in. That is the one that was crushed. I could see the base of it for a second at one point. Look on the other side of the pink one 53 seconds in to the film. Maybe another Britax?
