He said "I see kids in the ER all the time with car seat injuries and sometimes, it would be safer without..."
I watched it just to see how much they would miss. They had what appeared to be a 1 yr old baby doll in a Chase booster seat. They mentioned coat compression, but I don't think they said it could lead to an ejection hazard (I can't remember). They said the harness could be "just a little" loose. Which to me,if I were a new parent, would take that as "it's ok if it is loose." Travis started in on something about seeing kids come into the emergency room and how sometimes it would be safer without the car seat, but he stopped short of saying all of that. He said "I see kids in the ER all the time with car seat injuries and sometimes, it would be safer without..."
They could have done a lot better. I never watch the show anymore, but had to this time since they mentioned car seats.
I really think they have no business giving car seat advice if they don't know much about car seat safety. It was very disappointing to watch. Sure, parents will now know not to let their kids wear the heavy coats in the car seat, but will they know why?
I think they gave more bad info then they did good.
