Why you should use 5 point restraint car seat
I know I posted this Youtube link in another thread, but I don't know if people looking for car seats would look at that thread, as it was about strollers.
The importance of putting a child in a 5 point restraint for as long as possible. Currently in Canada I know of only 2 seats that allow up to 48lbs the Britax Marathon and Sunshine Kids Radian. If there are more I can add them to the list. All other seats only go up to 40lbs. US has different legislation so their seats with 5 point restraints go to a higher weight classification, and I know from reading another forum that Transport Canada is in the works to update our laws to include higher weights as well. But who knows if it will pass or if it does pass, when it will pass.
I know when I saw this video it made me change my view on which car seat I want to get.
