What do you think of the new child safety seat rating system?
From the NHTSA Web Site:
Though each category rating should be examined individually, consumers can generally assume the following about a restraint’s ease of use when comparing overall star ratings:
Five Stars = Extremely clear, concise, graphic labeling and instruction manual. Very convenient and simple to use features for securing the child. Excellent features for securing this restraint to the vehicle.
Four Stars = Above average labeling and instruction manual. Simple features for securing the child to the restraint and the restraint to the vehicle.
Three Stars= Average labeling and instruction manual. Average features for securing the child in the restraint and the restraint to the vehicle.
Two Stars= Below average labeling and instruction manual. Below average features for securing the child in the restraint and the restraint to the vehicle.
One Star= Confusing, unclear, text-heavy labeling and instruction manual. May find features for securing the child to the restraint and the restraint to the vehicle difficult to use.
