If the TV strapped to the front seats isnt a big projectile risk why are mirrors to see RFing children considered to be? My SIL used one of those mirrors and it was much lighter and secured the same way as the tv (i want one but i'm afraid it would damage the leather.)
I joined and quit Ivilliage b/c of its slowness issues. Its such a hassle to see one post at a time when it takes so long for each page to load. I do occasionally have issues with this site (mainly refusing to load when i click the link) but i think thats a problem on my end.
If the mirror came loose, it would fly forward and hit the RF child in a frontal crash.
In the same frontal crash, the headrest attached video screen is restrained by the headrest itself. It's very unlikely to come loose because of that, plus it won't fly straight forward unless the headrest breaks.
Sure, in a rear crash it would be similar to that mirror. Fortunately, severe rear crashes are relatively uncommon. I doubt the straps would break in the typical rear end fender bender.
There is added risk involved. I don't happen to see it as being a big enough risk to worry about. YMMV, of course. There are always freak accidents, so ya never know.
There are some pauses on this forum due to the provider capping the usage of SQL databases, especially in peak times. Hopefully, these will be less common since our server change over the weekend.
