Well lately ive been debating on wether or not to transfer natalie from her 5 point harness car seat to an adult belt booster and after doing some research, lets just say thats not going to happen for a very long time! After the things ive read and seen im just in awe...mouth wide open! I had no idea of the risks the adult belt boosters have. I couldnt not share this information, so my friends that have children PLEASE learn from these parents tragedies.
The videos are a MUST WATCH!
This first ones about a little boy named Kyle.
Video Info:
My son was killed in a car accident last year because a senile, 78 year old woman ran a red light and hit us causing us to flip into a ditch. Kyle's seatbelt came unlatched during the roll and he was ejected. His seatbelt was later examined by several experts who determined it was faulty and told me that seatbelts regularly fail, especially in roll over accidents. I had no idea that seatbelts could fail and think that this is something everyone should be made aware of. The government also needs to be more strict about making sure the people they issue licenses to are fit to drive...

PLEASE READ THIS AFTER YOU WATCH THE VIDEO...(copied from the you tube site)
It has recently come to my attention that there is another seat besides the Britax Regent (that I mention in the video) that will also hold a child in a 5-point harness up to 80 pounds. It is called the Radian80 made by Sunshine Kids and can be found here:

Also, 95% of all children's car seats are incorrectly used or installed. To find a location to get your carseat installation inspected, go to:
http://www.seatcheck.org/ OR http://www.safekids.org/certification and click on "Find a Technician" on the right.
