Jim,

Glad to hear you all fared well through the accident.  And thanks for 
the detailed account of what happens to an A4Q under these 
circumstances.

If you don't mind, could you tell us a bit more about how your child's 
carseat peformed (ie., where he was seated, type of seat, type of 
displacement, etc.)

Thanks very much -- just trying to gain any advice as to best protect my 
son (now 9 weeks old) in our '96 A6QW.

Once again, best wishes to you and yours!

Sincerely 
Nicholas Androulidakis
