Seat belts as opposed to the lap bar - why'd they change this!??! That's crazy if you ask me. Now I'm all worried that the seatbelts are going to be extremely uncomfortable. Seems to me like it would be easier to just have a bar come down over everyone than deal with fumbling looking for seat belts. Anyone know why this happened?
The problem is that for a small person seated next to a Pooh sized person, the lap bar was a chest or chin bar. I am an adult (but a fairly small one) and when I was seated next to our Pooh sized friends, there was about 10 inches between my lap and the lap bar. If I were a small child, the lap bar would be going across my face. That doesn't sound secure for the little ones and, as stated by the previous poster, I'm sure that some kids banged their chins on the bar (because it was so close to their chins) causing injury.
