I recently sold a car seat just to learn about the second hand age of cars seats matter. But the environment matter a lot too. There ought to be crash test by government agencies comparing new and old car seats. Similar trend with children carriages. Shifting from sturdy iron constructions towards light weight aluminum materials. Difference being iron construction lasts long good for the environment, aluminum one to two children buy and throw.

> There ought to be crash test by government agencies comparing new and old car seats Knowing how corporations rule the USA, the moment a government agency will start doing this testing/comparison, the carseat manufacturers will start lobbying (or as we know it in the rest of the world: "bribing politicians to preserve and increase their profits"), and we will most likely not see any solid results. Knowing Sweden and how they value life over $$$$, my money is with them instead of a shady "Carseat Media LLC". It looks like it's fearmongering "hey what is more important? $500 or the life of your child?"

Consumer Reports does crash tests -- well simulated crash tests, they've got a rig that accelerates the seat to see how a dummy of a child moves during crash-like conditions.
