One of the biggest traveling weekends is upon us. With 34.8 million choosing to travel by automobile (the highest level since 2007, according to AAA), it’s more important than ever to ensure children are safe in the backseat.
Have you thought about your car seat lately?
Safety 1st ensures children are safe for a fun-filled family road trip with car seats that have full body safety protection and crash tested car storage for travel essentials. Let’s take a look at some of the offerings!
The Safety 1st onBoard Air 35 Air + infant car seat allows your child to ride rear facing from 4-25 pounds. It’s equipped with a 5-point harness, adjustable stay in the car base and Carry Curve™ Handle with an ergonomic design.
The Safety 1st Advance SE 65 Air + convertible car seat ensures your child is safe from 5-65 pounds. Better yet, it meets the new requirements for the new 65 Pound LATCH rule.The Safety 1st BoostAPak is a belt-positioning booster, that’s also a backpack! To help make booster seat riding more fun for children, and easier for parent’s the BoostAPak provides on-the-go convenience and safety. Perfect for traveling, switching between cars, and it fits into an overhead plane compartment.
Car organization is a must. The thing is, we’re all guilty of reaching for those wipes or the woobie. Something I had never really thought about before was securing items inside the car to prevent them from moving around. My husband always secures suitcases, bags and other misc. before traveling (we have a Suburban). He’s almost OCD about it. Good thing too because anything not secured down is a potential projectile in the event of a crash or simply stopping fast.
Safety 1st Car Door Sanitation Station easily installs into a car doors compartment, allowing parents to store tissues, wipes, lotion, and other essentials within arm’s reach. The Safety 1st Just-In-Case Storage Station keeps travel essentials like diapers and toys safely stored in the car trunk eliminating the worry of car projectiles. The storage station secures to trunk floor with anchoring screws.
Safety 1st not only offers innovative products regarding safety, but they have a list of Travel Safety tips by Safety 1st Consumer Safety Expert July Vallese.
The three most important things when choosing a car seat are:
- One that fits your child
- One that fits your car
- One that you will use correctly every time
You can accomplish this by:
- Have the car you will be using the seat in with you and try it out at the store.
- If possible have your child with you at the time of purchase
- Follow information in both the car seat manual and vehicle manual for installation
- Attend a car seat check for assistance in proper installation and use from a certified car seat technician
New rules for car seats using LATCH require understanding of your car seat’s weight and child’s weight:
- Car seats manufactured after February 27, 2014 are required to carry a new label with guidance on maximum weight limits for LATCH
- The combined weight should not exceed 65lbs
- Look in the manual and label on the car seat to identify the weight of the seat
- Look for a weight on the maximum weight for the child
- Know your child’s weight
- If the combined weight of the seat and your child exceeds 65lbs-install the car seat using the vehicle’s belt
Keep these tips handy. After all, we’re responsible for our children’s safety!
One (1) winner will get choice in the following carseats from Safety 1st:
