My brain is having trouble processing that language. I thought it was 5 times safer to RF at that age?

It's up to five times safer. This number in the study,  5.53, is the number of times safer in side impact crashes. So that's 553% safer, or 5.53 times safer.

Nope. There aren't enough kids RFing beyond two years old to successfully measure data of crashes, so all the studies stop at 24 months. However, we do know that RFing is safer for everybody, even us, so just because they are 24 months doesn't magically stop them from being safe. We just don't know the exact numbers of how much safer they are, like we do know for 12-24 months.
