Of course, safety automotive programs offer various free car safety seat checks as well as low-cost rentals of infant car safety seats. But infant car seat safety is compromised with misjudgments and miscommunications (the core of the problem), as Consumer Reports have confirmed in their anticipated conducted review of their previous infant car seat crash erroneous tests.
The magazine lists ten of the 12 infant seats that were tested provide poor protection in simulated crashes. Even if how much your infant is strapped on its seat, it’s likely that impact hurtles can’t be avoided when the vehicle serves minimal safety protection for kids.
The controversial report generated considerable anxiety among parents because of poorly protected passenger seats. The report was made public last January 4 but has withdrawn two weeks later.
The magazine succinctly stated that the report is, “strengthening internal policies and procedures to prevent similar mistakes from happening." It blamed "methodological errors with misleading results" for the flawed tests. Consumer Reports says it does not plan any further side-impact simulations “until there is greater consensus among experts about how to do them.”
The magazine will be placing its trust with outside experts when developing complex tests and refine its processes for using outside labs. If called for, then a second retest at a second lab will be in the works, especially when these test results are unusual or don’t line up with factual information.
The report is not confounded as a safety encyclopedia of bad news but the review of the flawed report was conducted by two expert outsiders, Kennerly H. Digges, former director of vehicle safety research at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and Brian O'Neill, former president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Well, along with your vehicle’s auto body parts, the standard mandatory child safety seat law requires that you have a crash-tested, federally approved infant car seat to take your baby home sans consulting incorrect checklists.
