- Illegal and potentially unsafe car seats are being sold by various sellers on

market places such as Amazon, eBay and Aliexpress. When Britax crash tested one

of these styles of car seats in 2014 this is what happened.

The product descriptions of these are extremely misleading. They're marketed as

being suitable for very young babies and toddlers with accompanying photos but as

the Britax video shows if you were involved in a crash while using one of

these seats it's unlikely to provide any protection. - The car seats identified in

our investigation don't have any kind of side impact protection. They also don't

have the kind of padding and support required to keep a baby or toddler safe

in the event of a collision. The seat belt won't sit in the correct position

across your child's body and by law car seats are required to have a red central

harness release button which these car seats do not. If you're buying a car seat

look out for the distinct orange labels. These will say regulation 44 or

regulation 129. That means they've been safely tested and they're

OK to buy. - We always advise to buy from a reputable car seat seller who can

answer any of your questions and help you fit it correctly. It's important

never to buy one secondhand as you can't tell just from looking at one whether or

not it's been involved in any crashes and any internal damage could compromise

structural safety. Car seats should come with instructions written in clear

English and if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. When we

contacted Amazon eBay and Aliexpress all three told us that child safety is of

paramount importance to them and they prohibit the sale or listing of

non-compliant items by sellers. They further confirmed that they've already

taken prompt action to remove the specific products that we alerted them

to. For more information on car seat laws

Woman Refuses to Move Purse From Priority Seat on Packed NJ Train | Heavy.com - Duration: 6:42.

Woman Refuses to Move Purse From Priority Seat on Packed NJ Train | Heavy.com

Some joked it's the most Jersey video ever.

But commuters on the clearly packed NJ Transit train to Trenton Wednesday evening were not laughing.

The woman in a priority seat reserved for the elderly or disabled, wearing suede thigh-high boots, a tan baseball cap and clutching a designer bag is focused on her phone when the passenger beside her is seen asking for her to move the bag which appears to be a Louis Vuitton.

She appears to ignore the requests and looks to be pushing her bag further on the man's side or leg.

"Come on, it's already a late train.

You're delaying everybody," the guy sitting next to her says.

She takes an earbud out and says there's plenty of seats.

Numerous passengers say, "No.

There's not.".

One calls her a "dumb bitch.

The seated woman then shouts to a passenger standing near her: "You're not disabled, you're not pregnant.

I don't give a fuck.

I don't want your bed bugs.

I don't want your smell.

You're disgusting.".

When the passenger yells back at her she screams, "Fuck off bitch, shut the fuck up, I can't hear you.

Soon a conductor is there.

Recorded by Thaedra Frangos and then shared widely on social media, the video shows the young woman, on her phone with her bag parked in the seat next to her, telling a train conductor who motions toward her and her bag, "No….

dodon't touch my stuff.

When he explains that she needs to move her bag so someone can have the seat she declines.

"Noooo …I don't want anyone sitting next to me.

There's more seats available," she says holding the bag.

As soon as she protests that there's plenty of room, passengers immediately declare, that there are in fact no more seats.

"No there isn't! No there isn't!" A chorus chimes.

"It's standing room only!".

The conductor then says, sounding fed up, "Maam, put it up there or I'm gonna get you off the train right now.

She appears unphased as she adjusts her hat and gets back to her phone.

The video continues with one passenger saying that if she was removed, there's be two seats for people to occupy.

The woman declares that where she is "is my personal space.".

"No, it's not," she's told.

She continues to argue: "I don't care if I'm 90 pounds or 50 or 300 pounds, this is my personal space.

Now the conductor has had it.

"Listen, listen," he insists, and as she continues to maintain she's in her personal space, the conductor says that's it.

"I want her off the train.

Get her off the train. Ger her off.

Ger her off.

You want your personal space? You'll have it outside.".

The train loudspeaker can be heard then.

And so, the train stops and transit police responded.

It takes her several seconds to gather her stuff and be escorted off of the train.

NJ Transit spokeswoman Lisa Torbic told NJ.com Thursday that, "When train 3955 arrived at Newark Penn Station last night, New Jersey Transit Police asked the woman to exit the train to discuss the situation.

Train 3955 was then able to depart the station." She apparently didn't cooperate with cops and left on her own, the website reported.

Woman awarded $37million for suing Honda over seat belts in Uber crash - Daily News - Duration: 4:34.

A Texas woman was awarded $37.6million by a jury after she sued Honda for their seat belt system that left her paralyzed after a 2015 car crash

 Sarah Milburn, 27, sued the automaker for its seat belt design after an Uber she was riding in ran a red light in Dallas

The Honda Odyssey she was riding in was struck broadside by a pickup truck and sent Milburn's vehicle rolling over onto its side

 'Probably the worst ride of my life,' Milburn explained to NBC New York. 'I believe I was put in this (wheel) chair for a reason; to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone ever again

' Share this article Share According to the woman's lawyer, Jim Mitchell, Milburn suffered a broken neck and is now a quadriplegic

The lawyer also blasted the set belts of the Honda Odyssey as being poorly designed

 The design for the minivan's third row consists of a two-part system that the lawyer claimed multiple people would struggle with

That section of the vehicle is where Milburn had been sitting.   'Specifically, the seat belt is a two-part system requiring the user to grasp a detachable shoulder strap from the van's ceiling, anchor it to the seat and then pull the belt across the user's hips and buckle it,' Mitchell said in a statement on Thursday

'In independent testing, an expert showed the jury that fewer than 10 percent of people who were unfamiliar with the van's two-part seat belt system were able to use it properly

'. They also determined that 'wearing it that way was actually more dangerous than having no seat belt at all' 'What Honda said is, we met all federal regulations, and guess what? They did,' said Charla Aldous, another lawyer representing Milburn

But this jury found that those federal regulations were not sufficient.' Honda released a statement on Friday stating that Milburn failed to wear the seat belt properly and that their design meets federal standards

   'Honda is disappointed with the verdict in Milburn v. AHM and intends to vigorously appeal

The design of the seat belt system for the middle passenger in the third row seat in the 2011 Odyssey complies with all applicable federal safety standards and is similar in design to virtually all comparable minivans of this vintage

If it had been worn properly in this crash, the plaintiff would have suffered no serious injuries,' the company said

 Milburn's family hopes that the case will help in establishing the creation of 'Sarah's Law

' The law would force automakers to change their seat belt systems if they use that type of design

'We will change the seat belt system, ' said Aldous. 'This needs to be outlawed!'Milburn added: 'It's not about the money for me

It's about the fact that, you know, this could have been someone else. It could have been a child and they probably wouldn't have come out as lucky

I'm in a chair, but I can still talk. I can still move my arms. I can still smile, so I have to be thankful for what I have every day
