maybe I need to retract my earlier statement about always use a tether.
interesting. Okay, I went back and looked more closely at the tribute data you quoted. what I found was that the one test where the seat did significantly better on head exscursion, was the ONLY test where the lower anchors were used. In all the other tests, the seatbelt was used, with or without top tether. That causes one to think now, doesn't it? Especially with the recent TC testing which seemed to idicate a trend that in most vehicles, using LATCH did in fact seem to produce better results than seatbelt.
I have to run, will ponder more later.
