Thread: Child seat questions/options...

I deal with GM cars every day and would trust the lap belt over the "hook type anchoring device" any day. The lap belt is proven to hold back an average adult's weight in a crash. I don't have a clue what that anchoring eye hook thing is designed to hold that is connected to seat back of the rear seat. Do you? I've often wondered wtf those are actually good for. JMO. I wouldn't strap a child to them over the lap belt after taking GM cars apart and seeing what holds it and what its made of.

I have to disagree. The hook types will always get tighter no doubt. There no comparison between my TB SS or my dads G8 verses the lap belts on my GPs. Not even close.

The fact if the matter is you can get the hook type about as tight as a high school girl virgin on prom night...
