  "question": "Which infant car seats have independent crash test results that can be compared?",
  "answer": "Joie Baby Mint Latch: Overall score 80, placed 13th of 46 infant seats, with crash protection rated Better, ease of use 4/5, fit-to-vehicle LATCH 5/5, belt 4/5 and carrier-only 4/5. UPPAbaby Aria V2 (model number 1002-ARI-US / 1002-ARI-CA): The Aria v2 scored the best crash test result for UPPAbaby infant car seats to date and better than the average seat, but still below the top-performing competitors, some of which cost less and scored better overall. Its head (HIC) and chest-clip sensor readings were better than the average seat; the HIC figure was lower than much of the competition and the chest-clip figure was below average, though not as good as the best. Chicco KeyFit Max ClearTex: Independent sled testing placed this seat about average for crash protection in its group; sensor readings were not a standout but raised no specific concern. UPPAbaby Mesa V3: BabyGearLab reports below-average results in its own sled crash testing, with some of the group's highest head and chest sensor readings; it says the seat passed the federal safety standard.",
