Yesterday I got an email from a new dad saying he read the manual from cover to cover, but still really wasn't sure if he was doing it right.

    http://www.edmontonjournal.com/news/Infant+dies+hospital+after+weekend+crash/2518525/story.html It's unclear if the child was actually in a car seat, or if if it was misuse. Either way very, very sad.

    Over Head Shield Seats in Canada
