Question about the NHTSA compliance testing results

Okay, thank you to everyone who helped me find them again.

I have been thinking about this.
I currently have 2 seats available for ds.

I looked on the chart, and for a 12 mo RFing infant (the only RFing option available) the seats have drastically different scores.

On the first seat, the HIC is 395, and the chest G is 39
the second seat is a 719 HIC and a 58 chest G.

Right now, I am using the second seat as the primary seat, because is has EPP foam, but looking at the numbers......I'm thinking I should switch back to the first seat. i LIKE the first seat a LOT better too, so i have been wanting to switch back, but i thought the EPP foam was worth the fact that i dont like the second seat as much.

My car is a 2007, and has side air bags, if that matters. Both seats install well. Ds is well within the size range for each seat.

Which seat would you use?
Seat 1, with no epp foam, but much lower numbers?
Seat 2, with EPP foam, but much higher numbers?

What seats are they? Also was this a recent test that you had seen? If so could I have a link? The only one I can locate is a couple years old already.

And to be honest I would use the one with less mm.
