I haven't seen the exact details about the car seat released in the media, Scientists.
But, the car seat was made out to be factor in establishing probable cause for arrest during the hearing.
This is from back in July:
Ross Harris and wife Leanna Harris had moved the boy back into a rear-facing car seat that was too small after acquiring a new front-facing one, Cobb County Police Det. Phil Stoddard said. The relevance to the investigation is that Harris would not have been able to see his son (from the driver’s seat) in the older model. According to a warrant in the case, officials said that “Harris knew the specific make and model of the seat and what the weight limit was for the child to be seated in it,” and “when the seat was inspected the straps, for the seat were set on the lowest level for a small child.”
Whether the investigation has uncovered a reasonable explanation for Harris to have been using the older car seat since the probable cause hearing, I don't know.
