I understand that we’re all passionate about safety. And at some point or another, most of us have had to deal with criticism from friends or family members who think we’ve taken this whole safety thing too far and just gone right off the deep end.

When was the last time a carseat manufacturer redid their entire convertible line at once? I don’t think it’s happened without a major internal manufacturer upheaval/company sale. Britax has quietly redesigned their entire convertible line from the Roundabout to the Advocate and they’ve kept the same names to keep it easier for consumers to remember :} [...]

The day started with my perfect half-full flight landing at the quaint Burbank airport. As I walked down the steps and onto the tarmac at gate A2, the weather was perfect. I met my chauffeur and off we went to the Rose Bowl and Kidspace Museum.

How is this for awesome? I got invited to go to the Lexus Family Safety Camp, held at the Kidspace Children’s Museum in Pasadena, CA, to learn about vehicle safety.
