Is Britax the only one in the usa that make that 5 point harness system? I found that bit a little strange - like they were paid to make an advert on u tube?
Otherwise it was sad enough for me to see without the music (on a silent computer this arvo!!)...I hate seeing kids not in seats etc...and around here i have seen toomany lately and im sorry but three cars were asian families with bubs on laps of grandparent types int he back (i can see in really well from my truck!)...i now wonder if it would do any good at all to ring the police???]]> Wed, 08 Nov 2006 17:08:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4381&PID=84957&title=car-seats-please-read#84957 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4381&PID=84896&title=car-seats-please-read#84896 Author: Tastic

emma I thought that too, but then like it says in that movie you dont realise there is something wrong with it untill something really bad happens.. then you wish you had done something extra to prevent it.. in this case it was if she had her boy in a 5 point harness carseat he would still be here]]> Wed, 08 Nov 2006 13:58:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4381&PID=84896&title=car-seats-please-read#84896 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4381&PID=84856&title=car-seats-please-read#84856 Author: newmum

SCary stuff. Will definitely remember that when Han outgrows her carseat.

OT - we are with TelstraClear and their new broadband plans are great! You pay for the speed you want (4 levels, 4 prices) and then for every 1GB you use it is $2.95, but if you use it all up, it just automatically tops you up with another so it never goes slow! ]]> Wed, 08 Nov 2006 08:16:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4381&PID=84779&title=car-seats-please-read#84779 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4381&PID=84775&title=car-seats-please-read#84775 Author: Carmel

Wow what an amazing thing for them to do. Made me cry like a baby! Scary stuff.

We got a 5 point booster from Baby factory- it is supposed to go up to 6 years and was only about $120. It bolts into the car at 3 seperate points- top and each bottom side. Its really good.]]> Wed, 08 Nov 2006 01:22:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4381&PID=84761&title=car-seats-please-read#84761 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4381&PID=84756&title=car-seats-please-read#84756 Author: Tastic

yeah the family got hit in there at at a crossing and as he was only in a booster seat with a seatbelt, the seatbelt failed and unlocked... as the car rolled he was flown out of the van and died on impact!
Makes you think twice about car seats etc

That song does it for me every time, Maya knows all the words and she is standing here with me...

She is in an Evenflo Apollo convertible booster that has a removable 5 point harness and can then be used with a seatbelt. The 5 point harness is supposed to come off at 18kg but she is 18.5kg and still fits it so I have left it on and will until she doesn't fit it anymore. Her booster seat in my Mum and Dad's car has a tether bolted harness as well.]]> Tue, 07 Nov 2006 18:55:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4381&PID=84675&title=car-seats-please-read#84675 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4381&PID=84672&title=car-seats-please-read#84672 Author: james
