My goal is to keep the seat from moving at all, the way none of the seats we sit in actually move on impact. Actually the latches on my seat broke on impact and the seat back did flop forward and bang me in the head. That moving forward of the baby seat, is that not because of the seat belt fasten system? Physics too, but if the tethers and isofix belts are as tight as they can be the seat shouldn't move at all.We unfortunately had the chance to test it by being rear-ended by a bus, luck was on our side all around, but everything stayed exactly where I put it. But when I install these seats, I get my knee down in the seat and REALLY tighten down on all the straps.That's what I don't like about the seat belts to fasten the seats in with. You can't tighten them down as securely.
I looked for my owners manual last nite to confirm, but I believe it had pictures of the wedge in it and they also sell them here. That would be one 'helluva' liability if they make things worse. I can't confirm it though because I couldn';t find the book.Thanks for the discussion and feel free to make any other comments or point me to a MINI tested seat, right now I am kind of stuck on this one because we both came out of the accident in good shape. Still waiting for my next MINI and insurance agents. |
