Question:
The recent Consumer Reports report on infant car seat safety was retracted because it appears the testing was done at 70 mph instead of the government standard of 38 mph. Only 2 car seats withstood the testing at 70 mph. I think that this is still good information to have. Now I know which car seats will perform the test at 70 mph which I would not have known without this error. But why don't we test at the speeds that are commonly driven on the highways? Why is 38 mph the standard?

Will a baby seat fit in the back of a 2007 Mustang GT?
Good question! They probably can't do it at the highway speeds because its done in a closed area.i guess they figure if it fails at such a low speed then there wouldn't be safety at high speeds i think the ones that are tested at low speeds and can withstand should go through highway speeds to see if they could with stand if not it should never be sold
Question On how to handle this one situation?
The Goverment test at 35 MPH and the Insurance Instatute test at 40 MPH. The Insurance Instatute will give you the best rating. They crash test at 40 MPH because that is the average speed of most collisions. I dont know of many cars today that would hold up to any 70 MPH crash test. Maybe a 1953 Cadilac Coupe Deville and only maybe. If you want the safest car be the safest driver.What is the specifications for the emergency "EXIT" sign that will meet the IFC 2003 code?
"The Federal Standard essentially seeks to ensure that child restraint devices will remain intact during survivable automobile collisions,"The key word here is SURVIVABLE. A 70 mph crash, head on or side impact, is not considered survivable by anyone in a vehicle. For example, even if the car seat performs perfectly, the baby and anyone else in the vehicle would probably be killed by the impact.
