I work for a car manufacturer and am trying to put together a small collection of seats to find as many install problems with the car as possible.
What seats would you recommend?
For example, what restraints are the worst for:
LATCH access
Forward of the bite seatbelts
Long buckle stalks
Needing head rests removed
Needing lots of space to tighten the top tether
Boosters with poor hand access to buckle seatbelts
etc.
And what other issues, related to the car itself, should I be looking for?
I realize this is kind of a weird perspective; I'm trying to find incompatibilities so that I can change the car, not change the seat.
So far, I've got my personal Radians (lots of good incompatibilities), an old Marathon (which is too easy to be very useful), and a smuggled-in European Britax infant base with foot prop and anti-rebound bar. What else?
Thanks for your suggestions!
