7th, and I think no one has really considered this as much as I think they should. What is the chance that a child in a restraint will survive an accident at 65 MPH? It is so close to zero, that it will surprise you. So the restraint cannot be the issue in this case. The child would be dead in any event.

That sir is pure BS. Children have survived far higher impacts in child restraint seats with little or no injury. And on this topic I AM an expert. I am an Emergency Physician with 20 years experience. I've seen kids unscathed in child restraint seats where the car was otherwise a complete twisted mass of metal. At worst having the child in a restraint gives it a far better chance of survival then while being held by a driver.

Not only that, accidents rarely happen at full speed. I was an EMT and almost every accident had skid marks.
