Folks....

You have me 100% sold on the importance of car seat safety in vehicles. I was honestly not so convinced of the "need" while travelling by plane. I figure if the plane is going down, a car seat won't make a difference. That was until I saw this story...

Toddler survives plane crash

The Edmonton Sun

A three-year-old Edmonton girl has miraculously survived the crash of a small plane near Golden, B.C.- the third tragic air incident in that province in a week. The girl, Kate Williams, miraculously survived the crash on Sunday because she was strapped into a child’s car seat, said Mike Plonka, a member of Golden’s search-and-rescue team

Curious to see what car seat it was...of course! Granted, my DS won't be travelling in a CESSNA, but still compelling.

No problem, posting it in the news article section is good because it will be easier to find here for future reference. :)
