Winter weather can be merciless especially when you don’t have a lot of experience with driving in hazardous weather conditions. It always surprises me how fast the bad weather can hit. Before I know it I have white knuckles on the steering wheel and every muscle in my body is tense as I do my best to get our family home safe. It’s important that we are prepared for anything when the weather surprises us and that we are doing everything we can to make sure our little ones are safe no matter what happens. In order to do this it’s important to keep buying the appropriate gear (car seats, strollers, etc.) for your children based on weight/height, as well as ensuring proper installation and ensuring the products your children use are not expired. There are two big SAFETY initiatives at Babies“R”Us that can help you stay up to date with the latest and safest equipment: the launch of the SafeMax All-in-One Car Seat – the first ROLLOVER TESTED car seat in the U.S., and the Great Trade-In event at “R”Us stores nationwide.
Babies“R”Us and Evenflo, both advocates in child product safety, have come together to announce the newest innovation in car seat safety – the SafeMax™ All-in-One Car Seat, now available at Babies“R”Us stores nationwide and online at Babiesrus.com. The SafeMax™ All-in-One Car Seat is designed and tested for structural integrity at energy levels approximately twice the federal crash test standard, and is the first car seat that has been dynamically rollover tested. In addition to rollover testing, the SafeMax™ All-in-One Car Seat features an integrated steel frame to provide strength in absorbing crash forces and harness webbing to help limit head excursion and prevent ejection. It is appropriate for infants and children from 5 to 120 lbs or up to 57 inches in height, in three positions – rear facing, forward facing and booster seating.
One of the most important facets of all car seats is making sure they are installed correctly. A great perk of the SafeMax™ All-in-One Car Seat is that it comes with Evenflo’s ParentLink® PREMIERE Service. This service gives Evenflo car seat owners access to expert advice, including live video installation service with a certified car seat technician. This is a great feature! You can video chat with a safety expert to ensure your car seat is properly installed in your vehicle, and ask questions about the proper fit for you child. It’s always a good policy to ask when you’re in doubt about your car seat installation to keep your kids safe.
