Buying a Used Car
It’s possible to make kids safe in a used car, purchasing one just may take more time and effort and thought than purchasing a newer vehicle.

Nuna Myti – EU Car Seat Sneak Peek!
We got our first look at the new Nuna Myti at the Kind und Jugend trade show back in September, but now can share even more info about this new harness to booster (aka combination car seat for our friends from the United States) car seat with our readers! Nuna invited us down to their offices
KidsEmbrace Backless Booster Seat Review — Canada
The KidsEmbrace Backless Booster seat is not the narrowest booster we’ve ever worked with, but it is lightweight and provided a consistently excellent vehicle seat belt fit for every model and in every vehicle we used for this review. Consistency in fit is our favourite thing when it comes to booster seats, so we’d call this seat a winner for that alone. The fact that it comes in exciting superhero covers makes it an even bigger win!
ABC Kids Expo 2018
While the ABC Kids Expo was smaller than in past years, we were fortunate to see the debut of two brand new car seats and to be some of the first to learn about some other new car seats and booster seats! We look forward to giving these seats an in-depth look and review in the near future.
Car Seat Basics: Rear Facing Tethers Around the World
With UPPAbaby’s announcement about their upcoming convertible car seat, we had a barrage of questions about the rear facing tether that appeared on the KNOX. While it appears that the KNOX’s tether is kind of unique, we can’t speak to the intricacies of that particular tether just yet. But! We can most certainly offer an
Graco SnugRide SnugLock Extend2Fit 35 Review
We learned very quickly that the SnugRide SnugLock Extend2Fit 35 – or SnugLock E2F 35 for short – is a valuable car seat in its own right, filling a need for a rear facing only seat that fits newborns well yet can be used comfortably for longer than a year. The tall shell height, extra legroom, and 35 inch height limit all add up to a long-lasting option for families on the go.
Recall: Certain Models of 2018 General Motors Vehicle Seat Belt Retractors
In most cases, we limit our recall coverage to car seats. But we’re making an exception today because this particular recall impacts car seats. It’s such an exception that we don’t really have a template to cover this many vehicle types, let alone interesting or relevant images so please bear with us! The Issue On
Consumer Reports Combination Car Seat Report
We maintain that age is the best determinant of when a child is ready to move to a booster seat, not weight. We stand by the industry standards. NHTSA requires that today’s car seats meet or exceed Federal Safety Standard 213 and all car seats, including the ones mentioned in the Consumer Reports article, meet or exceed that standard.
We absolutely respect what Consumer Reports is trying to do with this reporting but we’re not so fond of the fear-provoking headlines.
Maxi-Cosi Magellan Review
The Magellan has a lot of interesting features and is so well-padded that even the pickiest of passengers should find it comfortable. Unfortunately, the number of installation challenges we faced along the way don’t put the Magellan at the top of our list for easy to use car seats. Families who are looking for a very plush car seat, have a roomy vehicle and are willing to be extremely patient while installing the Magellan may find it exactly what they need.
Kind und Jugend 2018
As part of our expansion around the world, we’ve added an EU Recommended Seats tab to our website and sent our EU-based team to Cologne, Germany to attend the Kind + Jugend trade fair in September 2018! This giant temporary city of baby gear is not unlike the ABC Kids Expo and JPMA Shows that
