Exclamation Consumer Reports- failing Car seats

Has anyone else read the update from consumer reports about car seats failing tests at 35+ miles an hour?

I think its worth a read!

Safety is #1 priority for parents!

I dont know if I am allowed to put the info in a post here- or even mention a name. Sorry if Im not allowed!

I would like to put the whole web page into the post, can I do that?

Unfortunately I didn't see if there was a new test done on booster seats or seats for older children- it appeared to me that it was just on infant car seats... Ill take another look over the weekend.

I thought you'd all like to know that Consumer Reports is retracting its article that declared most infant car seats unsafe. Stay tuned for more testing.
