Most often, your cheap car seat will be manufactured by Dorel Juvenile Group. Dorel creates Maxi-Cosi, Costco, Safety 1st and Eddie Bauer car seats. And I wouldn’t trust a single one with my child’s life, and here’s why…
“…the federal standard for car seats is so narrowly defined that seats passing the toughest of the tests–simulating a front-end collision at 30 miles per hour–can have serious problems at just a few miles an hour more and yet still meet the standard. We had seats where, if you turned [the test sled] up 5 miles an hour, the seat would disintegrate.”
