Car-Seat Safety In Colder Weather.

Whether you want to think about it or not (I know I don't!) colder weather is coming. Winter means frigid temperatures and bundling up, but did you know bundling up in the car can be highly unsafe? Puffy winter coats don't allow you to have the straps on your child's car-seat tight enough, and the same can go for your seat belt.

A wonderful technician in the US took the time to make a Facebook album demonstrating why these coats are unsafe and some safe alternatives, you can check it out here : How to safely wear a winter coat in a car seat!

Take time to find safe alternatives before the cold weather hits. Buy fleece coats or learn the "coat trick" demonstrated in the photos because even just one short drive could result in a car crash!

Keep your kids safe this winter, you won't regret it!

See Me On EastlinkTV!

Starting this Sunday you can see me on EastlinkTV's Eastlink Magazine talking about child passenger safety. It's just a small interview with me, but I'm happy with how it looks. Thanks to EastlinkTV for helping raise awareness of child passenger safety!

Ready For Lift Off.

Tonight marks the launch of my new website, www.careaboutcarseats.com. I'm excited to be live and pray that the people who read it take the information to heart. I also pray that people who want help will reach out to ask for it, I would love to help you out with whatever car seat problem you have, no matter how complicated or simple it may be.

The site may still get tweaked a bit in the coming weeks, so keep checking back to see if anything changes, and leave me feedback if there is something you like or don't like.

Also, I recently did an interview with Eastlink TV for their show Eastlink Magazine about child passenger safety and my techinician work. Stay tuned for a dates and times when you check this out. Special thanks to Amy D (a fellow technician) for helping me out by being a second tech at an inspection for the show and also to Rainbow O for letting her adorable kids get their seats checked on tape for Eastlink TV.

I'll be sure to let you all know anything exciting happening in the child passenger safety field, and I hope you'll all take in as much information as possible.
