Things seemed to be going along 'ok'. Then they got into 3 pt harness infant seats, OHS and T-shields. Though, it did mention 5pt as being the safest ;)
Then..I found this: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/child-car-seat5.htm Uh, that ain't "LATCh" they have pictured there. And how oh how might one contact them about their faux pas??

I can definitely see how it looks like the seatbelt, but I can also see it as the LATCH with the hook underneath the seat bite.

Would have been nice to have seen the anchors, though. The image is from NHTSA, so I guess contact HowStuffWorks and then NHTSA and get that cleared up.

Did you read the next page, though? Recommends RFing to 30-35 pounds. :)

hmm interesting...it just screams 'seat belt' to me
Now I"m looking at it like one of those duplicate image deals KWIM? LOL

That is nice that they mention rf at higher weight limits (aka extended rf). And they go over the check list for sitting in just a seat belt.
