There's a mom I met on another board who shared this video w/ a friend whose a news anchor and they did a story on it. It's great to see that info out there like that.

It think it's okay, however, I wish the reporter didn't say "we found these videos on UTUBE". UTUBE?? Don't get me wrong either, I LOVE the Madison video, I just seems weird to use it as the source for a news report without mentioning where that data came from. I don't think Utube is a truly reliable source for anything, particulary for investigative reporters doing research to do a factual news story. Granted, all of us here know that the crash tests are accurate but to cite the source as Utube just seems kind of weird to me. I think it would have been more convincing if she stated the actual source of the crash tests. I dunno...to me it was kind of like saying, they got the info from the National Enquirer or People magazine. Imagine those difficult folks who argue with us about ERF...all they need to hear is that the info came from utube. Why not interview Debra Stewart (in Seattle) or someone who is quoted in that video...


Another thing I noticed: In the beginning of the broadcast, she's got the Comfortsport upright in the rear facing position. The seat is bolt upright...if I was a parent who didn't know any better, I'd be confused as to how the child could be comfortable rear facing with the seat so upright like that. Between that and hearing UTUBE , I might fluff off the whole report.

LOL -- It's funny to hear Spokane referring itself as the Pacific Northwest. I always grew up hearing it as 'Back East' or East across the mountains. Seemed so far away, but it is part of the State

Sure, the source might be listed as You tube, but you can't argue much against the visual image of the crash simulations. As a non-tech, I didn't even catch the upright seat, so I doubt that would be a point against the story by a parent who is confused. Compared to all the other news blurbs on carseats, this one has a lot more information to chaw over.
I give it one thumb up :thumbsup:

I like that they gave the date and time for a carseat check.

I saw the upright seat, but didn't think anything of it as it wasn't even installed or even at the seat bite. I thought mentioning you tube was funny too.
