That scares the hell out of me too. They wouldn't be much worse off without any seatbelts at all.
Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope all worked out ok.

Steven Levitt (Economist, author of "Freakonomics") has an interesting contrarian presentation on the subject at ted.com: [broken link removed]

Freakonomics is a great read, Levitt certainly challenges the traditional viewpoint.

I think the following are at least as important as the brand of your childseat, and are rarely mentioned by the marketeers:

- Strapping child in tightly
- Driving with extra care when you've kids in the back
- having a large car
