LACK OF 3 POINT RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND HEAD RESTS ON MIDDLE POSITION OF BENCHES. I HAVE SIX CHILDREN WHO ARE QUICKLY OUTGROWING CAR SEATS. I BELIEVE 2 PT RESTRAINTS ARE UNSAFE. WHEN WILL THEY BECOME STANDARD IN LARGE UTILITY VECHICLES LIKE THE YUKON XL? LESSER CARS ARE EQUIPPENT WITH THEM. HOW DOES A MOTHER CHOOSE WHICH 2 CHILDREN TO PLACE IN THE LESS SAFE SEATS? NLM
