NHTSA CHILD-RESTRAINT RATINGS RELEASED

NHTSA says that current-model child seats are easier to use than previous-year models. In a press release and link to the ratings, NHTSA rated 99 child safety seats for ease of use from 14 different manufacturers for 2006. Of the 99 seats rated, 85 received an overall score of A. In 2005, 74 percent of rated seats received an overall score of A. Clearer labels and instructions accounted for most of the improvements in 2006, the agency said.
