ABC Kids Expo 2018

Posted on October 30, 2018
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

Posted on October 30, 2018
Swedish style rear facing tether -- United States

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

Subway

We’re always impressed by the number of great car seats and booster seats that our friends at Graco and Baby Jogger have to offer. After a year where they’ve introduced a number of great options, we are so impressed that even here at the year’s end, they’ve got more tricks up their sleeve!

Graco SnugRide SnugLock Extend2Fit 35 Review

Posted on October 26, 2018
Graco SnugRide SnugLock Extend2Fit 35

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

Posted on October 22, 2018
Vehicle Recall

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

Posted on October 18, 2018
Cosco Finale: hit with the feline set

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

Posted on October 12, 2018
Maxi-Cosi Magellan Max 2 year old rear facing

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.

Graco Contender/Dimensions Canada review

Posted on October 4, 2018

The Graco Contender has been a popular car seat in the United States since it was first released. This convertible car seat is particularly well liked among our users because it’s lightweight, long lasting, and budget-friendly all at the same time. We wanted to see if the Canadian version lived up to the standards set

Celebrate our Milestone: 300,000 Facebook Group Members!

Posted on October 3, 2018

We’ve grown from a small group of dedicated advocates, we’ve grown into a non-profit organization with a reach we couldn’t possibly have envisioned seven years ago. Our story started with a commitment to helping caregivers select, install, and use their car seats properly; it has expanded into a vision where one day every family achieving that goal is within reach.  We’ve also expanded our vision to include doing everything we can to increase awareness around vehicular heatstroke.
