I know a 5-point harness is safest while forward-facing, but what about rear-facing? Does it make a big difference if it's a 3-point or 5-point harness, specifically on an infant seat?
I am asking because we have a Graco Snugride with a 3-point harness...it's about 3 years old. We got it from a friend, who used it for her son for about 6 months. We used it for our son for about 4 months. So it's still in great condition. I am pregnant with baby #2 right now and the Graco Snugride is the seat this baby will use as well. I really don't want to invest the money in a 5-point infant seat that will be used for a very short time, if a 3-point is just as safe rear-facing.
Sorry so long!
