From CBC:
Nicole Nason, an NHTSA adminstrator, said Consumer Reports was right to withdraw its study.
"I was troubled by the report because it frightened parents and could have discouraged them from using car seats," she said.
Yeah, no shit, Sherlock. That's what I said last week!
The (quite short) CBC article can't resist adding the detail that "The original report said seats came off their bases or twisted in place. The magazine said in one case, a test dummy was hurled more than nine metres."
People just can't get enough of projectile Chucky. I tell you, that movie pitch has legs.

"twisted on their base"? Oh no! What could be worse in a high-speed car crash than a carseat twisting on its base??
