Sorry not sorry..

Some people sew for a hobby, some people dance as a passion, some sing, others act. My passion, however, is car seat safety. You can retreat to this blog on some simple & basic information to keep your child safer, while in the car. Car Seat Safety: 101


If for whatever reason, a post, blog, or statement, I make offends, annoys or in any other way makes you pissy, PLEASE delete me. I don't know everything, but what when I make a comment, blog, or whatever, it is based on FACTS. I stand firm behind the motto "When you know better, you DO better." I can "judge" someone on improper car seat use, because I was that mom. I will share information, I will make a comment if I see something. All it takes is one person, to say something to potentially save a life.


So get mad, annoyed, or whatever affect it has on you. If your too proud to actually take in the information I give & share, to learn, so you too, can do better, then be ignorant. I just hope you never get in an accident with your child in the car. I don't do this to annoy anyone, I do it, because I've had numerous people thank me, for sharing and posting so much. I do it for them. I do it for you. I do it for those innocent babies. I do it, so I can sleep at night, knowing that I at least warned someone that the way they have their child strapped in, could be fatal.


People don't get it. The difference between a child properly ( & When I say properly secured, I mean RF until AT LEAST two. But PLEASE research Extended Rear Facing & the mortality rate of children in accidents in Sweden. It's less than 1% because they ERF until FOUR.) secured child and a child improperly secured can be the difference between LIFE AND DEATH!


& I will NEVER understand how someone can know that RF is 500 TIMES SAFER and still choose to FF before or at 1. It may only be a recommendation to RF until 2 (AND BEYOND) but remember, seat belts haven't always been required & at one point in time, they were too just a recommendation.


I can't tell you how to parent, but I would hope, that you would want to give them more than just the state minimum requirement of safety. That is all.
