I was looking through youtube videos and saw a new video showing a system the University of Alabama's Office for Technology Transfer is working on for a one step release on carseats to get a child out quickly after a car crash. To me, this seems like it is already implemented in other countries. Get rid of the chest clip and then you easily have a one step release. The methods shown in the video look like it may be more complicated then systems used where there are no chest clips.

Car seats and booster seats help parents protect their childern. Innumerable lives have been saved through the use of these devices. There is simply no better way to protect your child during a collision. But what about those critical moments immediately following an accident? In those moments, the car seat itself can pose a danger.
The University of Alabama's Office for Technology Transfer has developed the Emergency Harness Release System (EHRS) to ensure the speedy removal of a child from a car seat. UA is looking to license the Emergency Harness Release System. The EHRS is a patent pending technology.
