The tether kept him from slamming into the dashboard and I'm going to shorten it now- I had no idea it was long enough for him to come out of the seat. This was not a major accident but because our babies are so little even a little accident could be deadly for them. Gawd that was scarey! Use your carseats! The poor woman who hit me was coming off of a 16 hour shift and was just exhausted.

OH my! I just now saw this post! Thank goodness you're both okay. Yes, their little bodies can fly in the slightest quick stop!

I am very glad to hear that you had Sugar in a car seat. We go one for Generally and on the third day after we got it we got broadsided on a snowy freeway. We got knocked into the meridian and ended up in the middle. The truck had enough damage that we could not drive it. We both banged our heads on the side of the truck, but Generally never moved from the seat. We have the teether very short and all he can do is sit up and lay down.

When we first got the seat the people at my husbands construction site kidded him about it, but since the accident(several of them saw us in the meridian) several have gone and bought car seats.

They save lives both human and animal.
