On behalf of CarseatBlog, Heather, Jennie & I would like to wish a Happy Father’s Day to Darren and to all the awesome dads out there! Extra bonus points are awarded to all stay-at-home dads, dads who know how to use a cloth diaper correctly, dads who allow pink/purple/flowery or “mooing” carseats in their vehicle, dads who actually hear the baby in the middle of the night AND get up to help, dads of teenagers, dads of teenagers who are driving and want to borrow YOUR car every 5 minutes, and dads with spouses who spend countless hours on the car-seat.org forums. We salute you all!
We especially want to pay tribute to our fearless leader, Darren Qunell. Without his passion and visionary leadership, there would be no Car-Seat.org community or CarseatBlog.com. We’re thankful that he was confident enough to ignore the naysayers back in 2001 who told him that creating a forum dedicated specifically to Child Passenger Safety was a waste of time. 12 years later Car-Seat.org is thriving and our dedicated community of advocates are helping to educate parents and caregivers across the globe in a friendly and welcoming environment! 🙂
I’m glad you mentioned that. I always feel like I don’t have anything useful to add, so I don’t leave a comment. But since it’s your Father’s Day wish, I will do so more often.
Happy Father’s Day!!
Aw shucks, thank you! But, no cloth diapers for me, sorry!
But please, kindly remove “visionary” from your very kind description:-) The last person we met who was associated with kids gear and carseats and used that term to describe themselves was responsible for the loss of carseatdata.org. I’d rather not be that kind of visionary lol…
I do have one fathers day wish… CarseatBlog traffic increases every month, yet we can’t seem to buy a comment from readers and end up talking to ourselves a lot of the time. Please. Take a moment off of facebook. Ask a question. Leave an opinion. Let us know how we’re doing- especially if we’re just plain wrong, boring, stupid, etc!
Clap clap clap! And especially thanks to all the dads who allow their wives to tuck carseats and boosters all over the house in spots where no one ever thought a carseat could fit ;).
