Hello, Does anyone here subscribe to Consumer Reports? I don't, but have never seen any reference online to CR having tested/reviewed Recaro car seats. If anyone can read recent (or not so recent) CR ratings on booster seats, I'd appreciate it if you can verify whether the Recaro Vivo has been...

All carseats currently sold must pass minimum government requirements. Consumer Reports has its own methodology, and does not discuss how they derive their crash test ratings or how their ratings relate to the risk of injury. They also conceal their results in colored circles, which don't tell you exactly how much safer a top-rated model is ...

From what I understand Consumer Reports withdrew thier latest results, because the tests reflected a 70mph plus crash instead of a 38 or so mph crash. I dont see why the tests cant be public anyhow, with the information stated that it was a 70 plus mph test. I'd still like to know what seats did best, I dont drive 38 all the time.
I know mine isn't the only one, but we have a Nissan Pathfinder and love it. All 3 seats in the 2nd row fold down independently, and there's 2 seats in the 3rd row. The GMC Accadia, Saturn Outlook, and Chevy Traverse (probably others) all seat 7 or 8 as well, and have the option of Captain's chairs in the 2nd row & 3 seats in the back.
The car seat approval process in CAnada does differ from the US. In the US, car seat manufacturers do their own testing and basically self certify that their seats meet standards and then the NHTSA does spot checks and investigates problems. In Canada, a car seat manufacturer develops a seat, then send the bare seat to Transport Canada.
