In re-entering the infant seat market, Britax has done a nice job with the Chaperone. My 7 month old has been using the Chaperone periodically for the past 6 weeks (don’t worry – he’s not unrestrained the rest of the time – just using his Chicco Key Fit 30) and overall, we both like the [...]
Authors Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner are making the media rounds again. They have a new book, SuperFreakonomics. Yes, ironically, you can buy it through our Amazon affiliate program link and we make some money advocating child passenger safety if you buy their book! Aint capitalism great? Anyway, as you may or may not remember, these authors had some interesting [...]
You’ve no doubt read about the epidemic that is killing kids left and right. It has spread to everywhere in the USA, Canada and around the globe. It’s an equal opportunity killer and it doesn’t distinguish among race, sex, income or education level.
Fortunately, there are three types of effective vaccine widely available now. They are [...]
Vehicle seat belts are designed to fit an average 160 lbs. man, not your average 4-10 year old child. That’s why we have booster seats. A booster seat raises the child up so that the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt falls across the bony hips, not the soft, easily injured abdomen. High back boosters, [...]
We heard there were some innovative products on display at the IMMI/SafeGuard exhibit, but somehow we missed it. Thanks to Anthony at IMMI, here’s a brief look at what we missed! First, here’s an awesome system that lets you use the same LATCH connectors for front and rear facing, without any need to reroute them! [...]
Continuing with their consistently Duggar-esque nomenclature, Magna Clek recently welcomed it’s newest–and largest–baby yet, Oobr. Baby Oobr follows on the footsteps of older siblings Oto (now discontinued), Olli, and Ozzi. Clek boosters have thus far been famous for four things: rigid LATCH attachments, Paul Frank fashions, hefty price tags, and being the cutest little things to [...]
It’s another tote bag. It’s full of mostly the same ‘ol stuff. Some of the stuff you will like. Other stuff may find its way into a drawer. Some stuff is destined for the circular file. If you are lucky, one or more of these extra stuffs will be thrown into the bag, but no guarantees! All you [...]
In the November 2009 issue, Consumer Reports listed the Cosco Scenera as one of their Top Products. Does the Scenera qualify as a “top product?” It was introduced as a replacement to the Cosco Touriva back in 2005. It’s a convertible seat that’s basically tried and true: it has reliable belt paths that are easy [...]

I’ve spent the last two weeks digging out from under all the virtual wrapping paper, under a very special early virtual Christmas tree. Our government friends here in the great white north sent us a gift that may well give your Lady Liberty a run for her money. I haven’t seen my colleagues so excited [...]
