My cousin and his wife are having their first baby!

They dont live nearby, so I am mailing them a baby gift I made and am going to include a 'coupon' for me to make them a fleece carseat-safe poncho.

Looking at their baby registry, they ordered a snugride 35, EFTA, and a winder bundle me, big poofy long looking strap covers, and one of those headrest things that goes all the way under the baby (the ones that are obviously not safe!)

I want to include some basic info (how to check if the seat is installed right, how to adjust the straps/chestclip correctly, NO aftermarket products, no poofy winter clothes and how to contact a tech for a seat check and something on ERF)

Is there something with all that info I can print out and send? or what should I type up to include? I dont want it to be TOO much info that they wont bother to read it, but I want to make sure their baby is safe b/c I probably wont get to meet her for a long time!

Are any of the techs from here nearby? Perhaps talk to the tech, and create a coupon for a free carseat check ;)

Thats a good idea!

Is anyone a tech in Toledo, Ohio area that is willing to help?

I wish I could go check myself! I think they are pretty clueless...

My dad's cousin had a baby who I didnt meet until a week before her 1st bday, she was in an outgrown bucket seat, everything loose and a giant poofy coat. I made her a carseat poncho, fixed her straps and gave them info on installing their seat and told them about ERF. They bought a britax instead of the GN they were planning on so I hope she is safe -er now.
