When our vehicle was struck from behind the driver seat collapsed backward. I was mildly injured and if my 1 year old daughter was in the driver's side of the rear seat instead of the passenger side, I would have crushed and likely killed her. I am not overweight and was struck while stopped by a van at relatively low speed.
