However, parents should be aware of the response to the video's claim about car seat buckle failure posted at www.carseat.org/Resources/650_YouTube.pdf. That said, every car seat authority agrees that kids should be kept in 5-pt harnesses as long as possible, so hopefully manufacturers will pick up on this and increase the availability of 5-pt seats for bigger kids, especially in a price range that makes them more widely accessible.

However parents need to be aware currently vehichle manufactures only allow LATCH (lower anchors) to be used up to 48#. From then on the restraint will need to be secured with a seat belt and top tether.
