I believe that most people who purchase and install a car seat do not read the entire manual.
They get it in their car, LATCH or buckle, and as long as the angle seems okay for the kid riding in it, that is that. Maybe a few more consider whether the top of the seat can touch the front seat in a rear facing install, who knows.
But so many people are using Dorel seats, with their 45 degree and no bracing requirements. It is perfectly absurd to manufacture SO MANY seats that will only fit in spacious backseats if the rules are followed. Nuts! They know people aren't doing it.
Same thing with the baby buckets that require the handle down and no touching the front seat. How realistic is that?
It is one thing to say 'make sure the seat works in your car.' Its another thing when MANY of your products don't work with MANY of the cars on the road.
