Here is a great link to some information on side impact crash tests, how most vehicles rated, and the types of side airbags are also discussed. If you are in the market for a new car, this site is an excellant reference tool.

Thanks for the link! We just bought a new car last Tuesday. Luckily, our car rated as a Best Pick. Whew! I like the Institute for Highway Safety because of their use of off-set crash testing. In a crash, you are more likely to have this type of accident than a direct head on. I have been in four accidents, all very minor, and only one would be considered head on. Actually, it more like we were the green filling between two cars.

You are welcome everyone! We need to educate each other and help all parents understand the importance of car seat safety.
