A good friend of mine sent me this link via Facebook and thanked me for showing her how to properly restrain her children so that they would be safe. Her son rode in a recalled Eddie Bauer seat, the one that had the harness that loosened for 2 years before she had me look at why it was so loose all the time. She never lets me forget that I helped her son out and I am so thankful I could do that.
Anyway, this story happened about 10 minutes from where I live, the child was ejected and killed due to not being properly restrained. The article I felt was educating and the video, although short covered a lot of important basics. The only thing I wish they would have touched on was rear facing to at least 2.
I think it's sad that a tragedy has to happen before news people will talk about child car seat safety, but at least they didn't just give the story without providing what could have been done.
