There are dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct styles of car seats with different forms, covers, stiffnesses and geometries. If your car seat doesn’t match your spine precisely, the violent acceleration of the car seat during a wreck can cause some segments of your spinal column to shift more than other parts.

This shearing action can stretch or rip the ligaments of your spine, triggering pain, swelling, scar tissue, neurological injury, and even long-lasting damage.
