It appears that you are actually sitting in the carseat for the video cover. The seats aren't designed to take the weight of an adult and your seat may be compromised. If you intend to use this seat for a child, I would examine it throughly as well as contact the manufacturer.
@TheTiffans Thank you for your concern about the carseat and the gentle explanation! 🥰 Even though carseats aren't designed to take the weight of an adult, they are designed to take crash forces, which you can think of in this very simplistic equation: restraining force = weight x speed (any engineer or physicist will take offense to that, but it does the job of explaining basic crash forces to non-scientific folks, lol). Those crash forces will definitely do more damage than my weight; however, I wouldn't recommended Tigger-bouncing in it. I was careful of the EPS foam in the headwings because I didn't want to break that. Also, all my carseats are training seats and aren't used to transport children, but I do like to offer explanations in case someone else reads it.
@@CarSeatSite Thank you for your reply! Yes, carseats are designed to take crash forces, but they will operate at their best in a crash when the seat is in supreme condition. Doing things like putting an adult fully in the seat/kneeling in the seat during install, etc., can cause concentrated pressure in areas not meant to take that kind of pressure, potentially creating stress marks or even cracks in the plastic. If a stress mark is compromising or a seat is cracked, it may not perform as it is designed to in a crash. It would no longer be fully equipped to handle the crash forces of which you speak.
Thanks for the video
Thanks!
Thanks!
