So when I took the course I got the new curriculum where they cut out all the "unnecessary" fluff about crash dynamics, etc to shorten the course. I understand the difference in crash forces for a rear-facing vs. a forward-facing child but where did the harness "rules" come from? I'd like to have some more information for parents when they ask why other than "because your manual says so and that's they way the seat was crash-tested."
More specifically what could happen if the harness is above the child's shoulders when rear-facing? I have a friend who insists that her daughter cannot stand to have the harness in contact with her shoulders so they raise them above. I've tried to explain why they are not supposed to do it, but I guess they are the type of parents that need more information as to why it's considered unsafe to convince them.
