Consumer Reports has its own methodology
November 16th, 2009
You can try calling the manufacturer of your carseat or vehicle. Parents can try many things. Driving is a dangerous activity, and like any other, it requires proper supervision at all times. Others can easily undo the buckle mechanism. Some children can twist out of harnesses at an early age. Also, please see our Carseat Buying Guide. Also, a carseat that worked for the dummies on the car benches at Consumer toddler car seat Reports may not fit well in your vehicle or with your child. They also conceal their results in colored circles, which don’t tell you exactly how much safer a top-rated model is compared to a lower-rated one. Consumer Reports has its own methodology and does not discuss how they derive their crash test ratings or how their ratings relate to the risk of injury.
