I got to thinking about this today. I ordered a $125 GN from Target possibly for DS2 because I'm not sure I like the Maestro. Got it today and have played with it a little bit. I'm surprised at how heavy it is. The Maestro is much much lighter.
So I was thinking about how the weight of the car seat matters when it comes to being in a crash. If I'm recalling past threads right the GN and Radians have good head excursion "numbers" for FF.
Bear with me here, I'm having trouble putting thoughts into words .
What I guess I'm trying to say is would a heavier seat move farther forward while FF in the event of a crash? I mean, in a crash everything weighs more so wouldn't a heavier seat stretch belts more and move farther forward? And what effect would this have on performance?
I know that seats are all tested the same, all seats are safe. But what about a more real to life sceanario?
Any insight about this would be appreciated. Thanks.
