AAA NY May 2009 issue

[pastrygirl]

Does anyone have the May 2009 issue of AAA NY's "Car & Travel" magazine? There's an article called "Five Tips for Packing Your Kids for a Safe Summer Road Trip (http://www.carandtravelmagazine.com/CarandTravel/Archive/2009/May/Five_Tips_for_Packing_Your_Kids_for_a_Safe_Summer_ Road_Trip.asp)." The online version doesn't show it, but the main photo is of two girls who could probably still be rear-facing... but they are in HBBs. Not only that, one of them is a Britax that is probably expired, because it doesn't look like any of their current seats. I just checked the Britax site -- it looks like the Advantage or maybe the Cruiser. I can't tell if it has a base.

The article references the AAP and SafetyBeltSafe as being two of the best sites for car seat info, "besides archived articles on CarandTravelMagazine.com." Yeah, they lumped themselves in with SafetyBeltSafe, even though they show terrible car seat use! Is anyone good at letter-writing? I'd probably come off too crazy, but I think this needs to be pointed out to them.

Shame on AAA! :mad:

You could submit a media watch form to Safety Belt Safe USA: http://carseat.org/Events_Media/89_MediaWatch.pdf
It seems particularly appropriate to bring it to Safety Belt Safe USA's attention since Safety Belt Safe USA was included as a source of info. along with the AAA publication touting its own archives. :twocents:

Thanks! I'll do that.
