Ok, so I'm having a hard time...

...finding links for booster vs. harnessed seat videos and info, proper usage (including but not limited to harness tightness, chest clip placement, proper installation) and anything about using aftermarket products.

joolsplus3 · Dec 11, 2007

Videos, or actual data, or advisory articles? (Actual data, you probably won't find...booster/harness comparisons don't yet exist in studies, and aftermarket products don't hurt kids in any measurable number)

I posted a few on your other thread. Did you find them?

More articles and such. I figured there really wasn't much actual data out there. I'm more looking for stuff about how the majority of people don't have their seats installed properly or use them properly and then how to do it properly and related info like that.

I did find them!

I was actually going to leave you rep points but it wouldn't let me.

Said I needed to spread the love first. Lol.

Aw! Thanks!

For distributing to people, I really like the free booklet you can order from USAA (here is the PDF version: http://www.usaaedfoundation.org/pdf/544.pdf). It has a lot of use/misuse pictures in it which is really handy.

To get it, go to: http://www.usaaedfoundation.org/
Select the "Order Publications" link at the top of the form.
Select publication "544 - Installing Child Safety Seats"
You can order up to 100 brochures at a time and they are free.

That is incredibly helpful!!!!! You can get the link to it online too which is perfect to email to my SIL. I might have to order some too to leave on vehicles when I see terrible usage in a car in a parking lot, lol.

jdchic3 · Dec 11, 2007

What about info like, 'has your child outgrown their restraint?' type stuff?

Thanks! I'm a member of USAA and have never seen that pamphlet. I think it's pretty good!

jdchic3 · Dec 11, 2007

I'm just about done. I really would like to find a link to info about how to tell if your child has outgrown their seat. Then I can email it to her!

I especially liked the third one. I'm sending her several links off that page.

I've ordered 2 sets of 100 of these booklets and both times they came within 6 days. What might have happened is that we all ordered so many that they had to request more from the printers and now there is a longer delay. Maybe put in one more request for the booklets, and then wait. Hopefully you will get them as they really are great for handouts.

I went to order them, hit submit, and a new page never loaded. When I hit submit again it said that I couldn't hit it more than once.
