huh? the US had the top tether first, loooooong ago (MANDATORY in passenger cars since 1998 or thereabouts?), and it's only now catching on in europe.
Nah, Australia started using top tethers in the 70's or 80's (CRS has a great study she can send you), and Canada's had them since 89 (and took on some of Australia's 'turn 'em young' attitude, but not quite as bad.
Only now is EU catching on to top tethers.
I think the US has the best 'options' if not best practice, honestly... most kids can RF to age 3ish (shadowing Sweden), then they can be harnessed and top tethered to age 10 ish (shadowing and improving upon most of EU and Australia), then they can be in fantastic boosters till age 12ish...(as Germany has had for awhile)...it's just that you have to be uber-educated to do these things
