A one car wreck occurred with a 4 yr old in a proper child restraint in bartlett, TN. The car flipped and landed on the passenger side. My complaint is the fact that there was a graco booster seat for a lager child of 6 in the car that was not in use. Because there is no way to strap this down securely to the car the booster seat then became a projectile object and hit the 4 yr old. There was blood on the back of the booster seat and the pad and in the cup holders. A better design is needed to keep these necessary objects that are not in use from being an additional cause of trauma during an accident. I think it is in the best interest of the car seat companies and the families who use these products on a daily basis to address this issue with the up-most importance. The safety of millions of people children and adults is at risk. Model 8491bem name turbobooster serial jj0426060839221 manufactured in 042606 graco children's products, inc. . . .
