It’s time to announce the 2009 CB-CASAs! (Carseat Blog Chicago Auto Show Awards). Without Further Ado:
Honorable Mention, Safety Marketing Category: Mitsubishi, Acura and others, for emphasizing safety with decals on their models:
Runner Up, You Be The Crash Test Dummy Category: The Smart ForTwo Car:
Third Prize, Better Safe Than Sore-ry Category: Mitsubishi Outlander for the least comfortable third row seat. Ouch!
Second Prize, Concept Cars that Better Have 10 Airbags and Top Crash Test Results So I Can Justify Buying One Category: Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept
FIrst Prize, “Are You Ready To Rock?” Category and Biggest Safety Oversight Category: Realwheels.com Cheap Trick Dream Police Tactical Vehicle, for lacking restraint systems in the cargo bed so you can jam while cruising (Sure it looks fun jumping around on the car like in the Rock Band 2 game trailer, right up until you crash through a billboard!):
Grand Prize, Unsafest Vehicle: BumbleBee, for lacking airbags, shoulder belts and LATCH when he transforms into car mode. He is also untested for frontal and side impacts by both the NHTSA and IIHS:
So, what you think, D? C-S.org awards, yeah? lol
Can’t you see it now? “Voted by the techs and members at car-seat.org as best child safety restraint for it’s money 2009” hehe
I love the giant Bumblebee!!
that third row of Mitsubishi’s looks weird… is it designed for aliens with those giant headrests and tiny seatbacks??
I smell a whole series of award blogs for this year’s ABC Kids Expo!
I’m with Karin! We need to have our OWN awards!
Dude, DS2 would kill to see a giant Bumblebee (and DS1 would be peeved that there was no giant Optimus Prime)
I say we need our own awards at c-s.org. The Car-seat awards. Most Hyped, Least Lives up to the promises on the box, most versitile, Easiest to install in most number of vehicles…etc Maybe car-seat manufactures would then work to get the coveted Car-seat.Org award. The Car-seatie? hehe.
(Oh, and then you could give awards to the various manufacturers for customer service, attention to safety, not having Dora Boosters for 3 year olds…etc)
