Sorry another question

I am looking to buy a new capsule, I've noticed that a lot only have 3 point harnesses, is there any safety difference between 3 & 5 point harnesses? I am leaning towards buying one with a 5 point harness as it seems safer.

Thanks

Yes a 5 point harness does mean that a child will move less in side impacts in particular because there are two straps covering the hips as well as down the chest.
