Just interesting video...

...that I stumbled across on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aCbxC09KsA&NR=1

It's in Polish and basically says to review 3rd party crash test data to know which seats are safe and which aren't, and that some of those that failed tests spectacularly, like those towards the end of the video, were all available on the market before being tested and recalled (or something along these lines).

The tag line is "We know (almost) everything about carseats."

ETA: I guess it's put out by a website (fotelik.info) that presents test results from independent/3rd party/safety group testing, and they are saying to get educated and know your seat's rating before you buy.

Cool video. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of crash test data available for seats here. Except for tests by Consumer Reports, which had seats failing spectacularly because they used skewed parameters...:whistle:

But still, a cool video. Too bad I don't speak Polish. A couple of those seats looked really nice--lots of SIP.

I've been watching "no seatbelt" ads since I posted that, some very effective (and graphic) ads out there. The DOE especially, "no seatbelt. no excuse" series. I wish there was some way to show these to some of the people I travel with on my vanpool so maybe they would GET IT. :( But people would just label me even more of a loon, probably, if I had their email addys and sent the links.
