Went to Sears to see if I could maybe snag a hidden Parkway (nope ). I was checking out the rest of the seats (pretty crappy selection, considering it was a Sears Grand), when I came upon the Embrace (pretty sure it was the embrace - the Evenflo with the 3 pt harness, in any event).
PLASTERED to it were bright orange tags and stickers proclaiming that it had been "Designed and tested for structural integrity at energy levels approximately 2X the FEDERAL crash test standard (font sizing similar to sticker). The (pretty sure Evenflo) 5 pt infant seat next to it had not such regalia.
Which, I feel, would lead an uninformed parent that the 3 pt was safer.
Yeah, sure the shell can withstand that type of force, but it won't really matter if the baby's been ejected out the side...
