Just makes me so angry

BMW, Mercedes & Volvo are the only manufacturers that have stronger seats in all of their models!

its best to put your kid on the passenger side. now if you have more than 1 occupant, thats another issue.

If you have 3 kids and only 5 seats, not much choice where to put them lol

Wow, that's a damn good find and great reporting.

I expected Volvo's chairs to be acceptable since they pretty much invented safety in cars. Nice bonus BMW's are in there too.

Though the results are pretty sad and yet another reason how irrelevant the NHTSA is.
