Car Seats

Post by Mel »

I was just wondering when the next car seat function will happen. My family was recently in a car accident resulting in major damage to all vehicles involved. When talking to the Ins adjuster, we were talking about what kind of car seat/booster we were using for our child. I had her in the wrong seat. Thank GOD she wasn't injured!
I would have never known about how you need to use a booster with a back (headrest) if your vehicle doesn't have headrests installed ( like in backseat of most trucks). Also that is it 6 AND 60 lbs. I thought it was 6 OR 60 lbs to not have to use a booster. My other child is 7 and 72 lbs, but I still have her in a simple seat booster ( I have headrests) because the seatbelt was cutting her off at the neck - VERY BAD. She'll continue to be in that booster till she's tall enough.
I think we need to make this next car seat function a HUGE deal. I know personaly that most parent think that it's 6 or 60. I know a huge amount of people that don't bother putting your kids IN seats at all, some don't much mind about seatbelts. Those who know me , know I am now an advocate for carseat safety - and it took my family being in a car accident to do so. How sad is that?

The next car seat inspection will be May 13, 2006 from 10-2 at Kastner Honda in Napa. That would be a good one to attend. Or you may call the American Canyon Police Dept. and ask for Kim or Kathy for an appointment. We are both certified car seat technicians.
