Car seats in America are designed for frontal and side impact. What about the 5% to 10% of vehicle collisions that are rear impact. This is what happens when a name brand, mid-tier car seat is involved in a rear collision. The car manufacturer from Sweden with arguably the safest vehicles in the world, now offer tether anchors on the Front seat rail to tether compatible rear facing seats, preventing this. Rebound Bar also prevents this. Research is coming to light that there is a high brain injury risk for the childs head to contact the seat back in rear-end collision scenarios. Some say this is to cocoon in the case of an accident. I agree that this is a good thing in the case of a frontal collision. However, in the case of a rear collision (Hit at 40mph while stopped at a stop sign) there have been many cases of child head injury or death when the head impacts the seat as the car seat abruptly folds up into the cocoon position. That is why we chose to go with a car seat equipped with a rebound bar which serves its purpose in both frontal and rear collisions.
