Safety seat tests were flawed:

Apparently their tests simulated a 70 mph side crash instead of 38 mph as intended. Amazing that any of the seats passed.

Feel free to buy one of the seats that will "pass" after the test speed is halved....

One of the nice benefits of working for Toyota was that they gave employees a baby seat when a baby was born or adopted. Just let the HR dept know about 2 months in advance, and it would show up at the office about a month before the due date. With multiple kids, we ended up with multiple car seats so we didn't have to transfer from car to car.

It was a pretty good set-up, wasn't it? Have to watch that from now on... ;)
