Yes, my DS can (properly) do the clip himself. However, he doesn't use it.
Isn't the crotch clip mandatory :scratcheshead:
Edit: :doh: nevermind, I think you meant the seat in general, that he doesn't use the PWSG. I think, lol.

Assuming your child is of the manufacturer's recommended age/weight, fits properly *in* the booster, is mature enough to stay positioned properly all of the time, and the booster provides a nice, adequate seatbelt fit, your child will be as safe as they can be in any given situation.
Submarining happens, mostly amoung younger/smaller, not-quite-mature-yet booster occupants, but it happens. Accidents which are unsurvivable happen, even to children in the best of the best restraint, best of the best install, positioned 250% properly, 250% of the time, in a best of the best vehicle. Sad, but true.
As far as actual statistics are concerned, I'm not sure if they exist.
But, personally, I'd rather spend my time making sure my child is positioned properly in his booster with a good seatbelt fit, that he's being a responsible rider, and that my booster is a good fit in my vehicle over searching for statistics that may, or may not exist or that may, or may not, actually be credible, non-anecdotally based.
The good thing about the PWSG is that you have the option of the SG clip...and if it works out for your child - sweet. If not, don't use it...and you still have a fully functional booster.
