What ONE site/brochure/video, etc. to help someone understand Extended Harnessing?

Now that I've found this site, I'm trying to proclaim the Carseat Gospel to all my friends. I have SOOOOOOOO many friends with 30-35 pound 3 & 4 year olds in booster seats. I'd LOVE to see their kids back in harnesses.

My best friend is my biggest concern. Her kiddos are as follows:

-6 yo boy, 38 pounds--in a booster
-3 yo girl, 35 pounds--in a booster
-2 yo boy, 30 pounds--in an old (about 6 years old) 5 pt carseat
-New baby due in the Spring!

SO, she and her family take a LOT of road trips--like twice a month. LONG road trips--like 6 hours or more. (I can't even imagine, but they do!) She says that her husband (a very pennypinching attorney) needs to make the decision, and that I should "email him" with the info. My biggest concern is getting her two oldest kids (still under 40 pounds!) back in 5 pt restraints. I will have a SOUNDBYTE of time, to try to convince her skieptical husband, that they should buy new seats, PLUS, make them get back into the harness, which she says, "the kids won't like."

What ONE website, brochure, video, etc. should I sent to him, to at least TRY?

I think www.cpsafety.com is very 'accessible' in it's info to the average parent...it also has some printable brochures.

There are lots of others! I hope everyone posts their favorite so you can chose the one you think will work best!

also look up the laws in your state, maybe they're breaking the law not having them in harnesses (at least the 3yo probalby) maybe you can tell him that tickets would cost money, heck point out that hospital bills would be far more expensive then a few carseats
