For about 6 months now, I have been very passionate about car seat safety. The installation process for most people (including most of our friends) is terrible - it’s like people just don’t know how to install the car seats in their vehicle. That being said, there was a report put out by consumer reports titled “Consumer Reports: Many Car Seats Fail High-Speed Tests” - this video really got me thinking more. For starters, they don’t even have the base secured from what the video shows - but that is just the half of it.

If you have any thoughts or stories on Car Seat Safety, head on over to the Car Seat Safetynew site we launched about Car Seat Safety - it’s open and anyone can register and share their car seat story - we hope you will join us!
