Child restraint crash test videos?!

[bubbaray]

OK, my link to the videos on the "old" site doesn't work?!?????!!!!! ACK! I forward these videos allllll the time. Anyone have the original links? The videos were from the EU and were, IIRC Maxi Cosi seats -- one harnessed FFg and one a booster.

TIA!

Youtube has heaps of videos now... here's also a convertible RF http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v163/jen_nah/carseats/?action=view&current=video06A_MGA_213_RearFace-Convertib.flv And FF tethered http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v163/jen_nah/carseats/?action=view&current=video06B_MGA_213_ForwardFace-Conver.flv

Thanks Julie.

Yeah, the ones I'm thinking of were specifically filmed in Europe and had the crash test "car", not just the sled. It showed all the movement in a booster (excursion from the car, etc) vs. harnessed.

IIRC, the "car" was orange.

This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2kO8AxKbrM (this irks me, because it's NOT a harnessed seat behind that booster, it's a foam shield seat, which is just as good, maybe better, but it's still not accurate, but it irks me,that's why I remembered it, lol)

YES!!!!!! :)

There was a separate one with the FFg harnessed seat in the driver's side back seat, but I'll take what I can get.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!! Yes, I'm yelling! :)

Here are some links to some of the crash tests of different booster types.
