I'm going to correct you. For the last 10 to 15 years, car seats have been easy to install and remove. They have hooks on either side that latch on to anchors embedded in the car.
You don't have to use the seat belt. It's almost like unlocking two carabiners and then you remove the seat.
It is not difficult and does not take very much time unless you have arthritis or difficulty using your hands.
The mechanism may well be extremely simply and easy to unclip but here's a thing, I've never had a baby and if I was going to carjack or suchlike, I wouldn't even know that the seats even un-clip at all.
It sounds all very obvious when thinking about it - of course you see parents walking about with their child clipped into the car seat etc -but- on the spur of the moment a) firstly personally I would not even know that the seat unclips, I'd imagine it's fixed in securely and b) even if it occurred to me that a car seat unclips, I'd probably spend 20 puzzling minutes trying to figure it out - those things are probably covered with adjustment buttons and clips and levers and buckles and belts.
IMO whomsoever perpetrated this crime, if they unclipped the seat or if they ordered MG to unclip it, they know about babies and they know about car seats.
