I want one. Is 2005 the latest edition or is there a newer one? Where do I purchase it? Thanks!

That's the newest one. Ummmm...look online at Safe Ride News?

At your tech class, did you get a copy of SafeRider News in a plastic bag? Mine had a $5 off coupon in that bag (and I think I took the class around the same time period that you did - Sept. 06) along with info on how to order.
Hope that helps!

They're working on a 2006 LATCH manual right now ~ if I were you I'd probably wait for that one ... if you can manage through the rest of us

1 of my instructors' employers pays for her SRN subscription & allows her to send it off to all the rest of us for free

I was such a dork, Darren sold me one of these before I was a tech, and I showed up at my class with the 2003 version, and my instructors only had the 2001 version (it was late 2003, they SHOULD have had the new ones!)

My class was a few months before they released the '05 version so we all got the '03 version. If they '07 version is out soon enough I'll get it, otherwise I'll just order the '05 for the CEU credit.

I can get credit for buying/having one? Hmmm, I've been wanting one anyway, I might have to look into that as soon as I get some money.

Good to know about the CEU credit. I think that will convince me to wait until after I'm certified some day to buy a LATCH manual. Doesn't the new CPST curriculum also go into effect in January?

Not only did I not see one at my certification class, it was never even mentioned. I didn't know anything about it (or saferide news) until this board.

I'll definitely wait for the newer edition!

Thanks!

Yes, you buy the book and then take a short online quiz. But you have to have the most recent version for it.

Click to expand...

Ditto: we only heard about the SafeRide Newsletter, but not the LATCH manual.... I had no idea there's an online quiz! Will have to find it -- got a link to help me out?
