A 2002 study carried out by researchers at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine examined the biomechanics of lumbar spine injuries from auto collisions and discovered that the car seat is very likely the culprit in these types of injuries.
Your spine has an innate curved structure that absorbs jolts and stresses and at the same time permits freedom of movement.
There are dozens, possibly even hundreds, of distinct styles of car seats with distinctive forms, covers, stiffnesses and geometries. If your car seat doesn't accommodate your spinal column exactly, the violent acceleration of the car seat during a crash can cause some portions of your spinal column to shift more than other parts.
This shearing motion can stretch or tear the ligaments of your spine, leading to pain, irritation, scar tissue, neurological injury, and even long-lasting damage.
