Depends: Hitting the side of the seat is certainly better than hitting the kid. The overall effect on the kid would be related to how hart the impact was & how much jostling the kid encountered. Passenger safety seats are designed around the impact risks encountered in a crash. When they are out of the car they are just a carrier & any protection varies with the trauma.
