Hi. Has anyone seen any of the crash test data on the SafeSeat Step 2? If so, how does it compare to the Evenflo Triumph? I was in a car accident and need to replace all of my carseats. I originally bought Evenflo Triumphs since they were so well rated in crash tests by Consumer Reports. My rfing baby will get another Triumph. However, I have also need need a ffing seat. (And yes, it does need to be ffing because this car will not fit another rfing seat behind the driver's seat, so please do not give any lectures. They are rfing in the other car in Triumphs. I've thought out all the possibilities, and in this car, they need ffing seats.)
Anyway... I'm trying to decide between another Triumph ffing, or the Graco Safeseat. The weight limit isn't a problem, as I have small kids. According to her growth chart, she should hit the 40 lb mark sometime between her 7th and 8th birthday.
My delima is that I haven't seen any independent crash testing of the SafeSeat. It seems so new... I worry that they haven't worked out all the bugs. How much do I trust Graco when they say it has been well tested? The seatbelt locks look neat, but I heard the Britax had a problem with those... do I trust them? But, those side wings around the head look GREAT for side impacts. On the other hand, I've had 2 different Triumphs in 2 different car accidents. My baby was right at the point of impact on the driver's side in the last accident when I was T-boned, and he had no injuries. I see it as the tried-and-true. But, I then see the SafeSeat and think that it might be even safer... especially since I was just in a side-impact accident, and am now completely freaked out.
So... any help deciding between those two?
