Default Why are new cars missing car seat LATCH for rear middle seat????

She's looking at SUVs instead of safer passenger cars, and bitching about
two child seat anchorages instead of three.
Sad. Not amazing or surprising, but sad. You have to have a licence to go
down to the lake and fish, but they'll let anyone who can figure out how
to fit tab "A" into slot "B" be a parent.


What's even more sad is that she's posting from a .ca address. Is there
some kind of Canadian equivalent of CAFE that has killed off all the
decent cars there too?


For most intents and purposes, the Canadian auto market is the same as the
US auto market. All the regulations are identical or damn close, and in
the absence of specific regulations, Canada tends to just do (or allow)
whatever the US does -- and this is as GM likes it.
