RESEARCH USED CAR. Find cars for sale in your neighborhood. Research All Used Cars. NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Most rear-facing infant car-seats on the market failed crash tests using tougher standards than the government uses, Consumer Reports said Thursday. The magazine crash-tested 12 infant-seat brands and found that 10 didn't provide adequate protection. The car seats have already passed the federal government crash tests, which are conducted from the front at 30 miles per hour. Consumer Reports, however, tested the seats with the same standards the government uses in testing vehicles-for front crashes at 35 miles per hour and for side crashes at 38 miles per hour.
