I no longer have any desire for that guy to win. I hate to say that I am not surprised his daughter died in a crash (no, I am not saying she, or he, deserved it. Just saying I am not surprised).
The commercial could have been good.
But they had an infant FORWARD FACING, which was mistake number one.
And the straps! The straps were SO loose! You could see the 4+ inch gap between the baby and the straps. Especially with no chest clip, it would be very easy for even an infant to wiggle out of it. And not difficult at all for an adult just to take the kid out while the harness was still buckled. No way it would have done any good in a crash.
I had thought this car seat was a wonderful idea and really wanted to see him move on. Then when it talked about how 3 kids die every day and hundreds more are injured, I thought it was great that they were shedding light on how serious CPS is. Nope. Once they opened the smushed car, it becamse obvious that they didn't understand one bit, or really care. And then there are parents who are going to see that, and think it's okay to put a six month old FF and not tighten the straps AT ALL.
Grrrr.
On the up side, we DID get to see how it fit into a vehicle. A Suburdan, yes, but still. It didn't appear to be all that huge in the car.
But I am still steaming about those straps. I thought Jean was going to kill me.
