Child Car Seat Safety Archives

Because I don’t think it has narrow bars on the sides like some other strollers.




If a sleeping baby is transported from the car to the house in the infant carrier every time instead of being picked up out of the car and carried to a bed where they are put back to sleep, will that make the baby more likely to wake up everytime they are lifted out of the car seat when they outgrow the infant carrier? Do you think its a better idea to lift them out of the car by hand and put them back to sleep right from the start because it will train them to go back to sleep easily after being moved from the car to the house? Or is there no difference?

A travel system from Graco that is similar to the Chicco Cortina 30 Travel System, but lighter weight?




I might possibly be getting arrested for vadalism in my friends car. I melted an area on the air bag on the steering wheel and then I imprinted the end of the lighter into it. She says it a new York state law and that it has to be fixed because of safety factors but I’m wondering if she’s just bullshitting me Just to extort me.




We have for our daughter the Chicco First dreams musical mobile and she loves the songs it plays. In the box it says that the music is from Mozart and Bach, but I can’t find those two songs. Does anyone know them? Thanks!

This ’99 Civic was first listed as a Civic Si, now the ad had been changed to a DX. Also, the torque had changed. I called the guy and asked about the change to DX, and he said that it had a lot of Si parts, thus the confusion. He re-listed it with the correct information, he said.

Is this suspicious?

infant carrier travel system?

I have a baby trend car seat for my son and i am looking for strollers on craigslist and i havent found any baby trend stollers and i was wondering if a baby trend car seat would fit in a graco stroller or any other kind of stroller?

Can anyone answer that?
Thanks!




how do carseats with built in air bags work?

The Safety First car seat has built in air bags for side impact.How do they deploy?




I have an 8 month old that weighs 16 lbs. I have a ring sling and he’s not really comfortable in it anymore and is too heavy to wear on one shoulder. I also have a pouch sling, same issue w the one shoulder carry though. And 2 snugli like carriers. These are not really ideal for us either. So I was thinking Moby, Sleepy wrap, Mei Tei, or Baby k"tan.

My issues: I don’t want to spend a fortune on a carrier
- I want to be able to use it at this point and not something that’s geared towards infants
- We live in FL and I’m worried about the moby/sleepy wrap being too hot
- some of the carriers listed look like you can only hold facing in- my little guy likes to explore sometimes

I think I may be leaning towards the Baby K’tan at this point, but I don’t want to shell out the $ for it if it won’t work for us.




I need a stroller frame that holds a infant carseat. I went on the walmart website and the only brand they have is Graco. Can these two products be compatible or will it be unsafe to try to attatch the Evenflo carseat onto it?

Graco – SnugRider Infant Car Seat Carrier Stroller Frame
