I've been posting here for a week or so now and totally forgot to introduce myself!

Hi!

My name is Christine. I'm married to my wonderful dh, Mario and mom to Bethany, 5.5yo and Benjamin, 13mo. In my spare time I go to work as a graphic artist, although I have a degree in elementary education...varied background here!

I started my car seat journey back when pregnant with Beth and tripped across the parentsplace board. She rode in a Fisher Price SIV (5pt) and then a Fisher Price Safe Embrace/Britax Advantage when she outgrew the SIV at 6mo...by HEIGHT!!!

By the time she was getting closer to 2yo I was about to explode w/ misuse in my community. I signed up for the certification class and was the only "freaky mom" there. First day everyone was saying how they were with this police department or that firehouse...or maybe even a nurse or two... and then me... Hi, I'm a graphic artist and a mom :D !

That was back in June of 2002. Since then I've been active in volunteering with our local Safe Kids chapter. They like having me around since everyone else is a tech for their jobs, and I am generally eager to help out w/ weekend events :) . Additionally, I have done presentations for my former workplace, a mom's group I'm active with, and my children's daycare center. Bethany just started K this year so I'm starting to become active at her school and eager to do some events w/ them.

As far as seats...

Benjamin (currently in one Britax Boulevard and one Britax Advantage)

Welcome to the board, Christine! :D

My dd, Hayley, is the same age as Bethany, also in kindergarten this year. She'll be switching from a Fisher Price Futura to a Husky any day now, and also uses a Britax Parkway, Compass B510 and Britax Laptop sometimes.

I hope to be certified sometime this year. I'd love to get her school to do a booster seat presentation but I'm not sure how to go about it, not being certified. Most of the kids in her class are not in boosters at all. :(
