Safeguard go car seat??

Lillian · Oct 10, 2006

Has anyone seen the commercials for these? I wouldnt think they were very safe, but I guess they would have to be approved by the government, right?? I just wanted to get your views on this. Here is the link to it...

Just bought one last week, actually. I'm comfortable using it.

Very neat seat, btw. THanks Julie for mentioning it to me. What is also neat about it is that it can be used quite easily for any FF child that meets the requirements, simply becasue all of the adjusting is right there in front. It fit in that deep bucket seat when nothing else would. My DS(2 yrs. 5 mo.) likes it ok, although he really doesn't appear to be very comfortable in it.
I like that the weight limit is higher, as well.
I did find that I did not get a tight install(not even close) with a seatbelt. I have only tried it in this one vehicle, and when I get a chance, will try it in my car to see if I get a different result. So, if you don't have lower anchors, it might not work. It must also be used with the top tether anchors if in harness mode, which could be an issue for some folks. It was a super easy install with LATCH, though.
It's not a primary seat for us, and I don't know how well I would like it for travel--but I am used to traveling with my MA, which I can use on a plane. A bit pricey as well, but again, it fit a deep bucket seat very well, and was short enough to go under the headrest, which was an issue for us, and could be for others.

Beth, is this seat the one you ended up putting in the back of your BMW? If so, I would love to see some pix of the install!!

Once my nieces are old enough to FF, I would love to have a seat like this one. I don't need a seat all the time and it would be nice to have a "fold-away" one like this one. But it is still several years until I need a seat that is FF only!

Lovinwaves--Yes, this is the one I got to fit back there, finally!

:lol I will try to get some pictures this evening--it's DH's car, so it's gone during the day. It might be this weekend, though. The tech that I took it to took pics of it as well--he had never seen one.

We own one, and it *is* a really nice seat, particularly for travel, or for an extra seats. Unfortunately, our daughter is growing out of the five-point harness faster than I expected. I wish the straps adjusted a little higher. Then it would be ideal!

Ok, whenever. Very curious to see how it turned out!!

I love seeing carseat puzzles figured out!
That Radian looked sooo cute back there though.
