Why or why not?

Based on the head excursion numbers from the published crash tests? Nope. Would I replace one if that's what I was using for my FF kiddo? Absolutely. Would I use one if I didn't have anything else? Yeah, but I'd put another seat on a credit card if I had to. The crash test data may not translate into anything significant IRL, but I don't like what ifs and maybes when it comes to whether my kids' seats are performing well enough to protect them.
I havent frequented this forum in a while, wut did I miss? Britax seats have failed crash tests? We have a Regent, a FF RA that is about to be replaced, and a RF MA that we plan to use FF next year. Why should we not??
Only if it was all I had available. They passed. Barely. I'm more comfortable using my other seats. I always had qualms about their high-base design FF, and the TC stuff combined with the testing numbers just makes me feel a little more justified in my dislike. So, if I couldn't afford to buy another seat or it was the only one that fit in that spot? I'd do my best to not worry. But if I had another seat already available (remember, I'm the one with like 16 seats for 3 kids ) that installed well in that spot and fit the child, I'd absolutely in a heartbeat use a different seat.
