    Default Child restraint crash test videos?!

    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!

    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)
