Keeping Baby Safe In The Car! {Safety 1st onBoard Car Seat Giveaway} CLOSED

1 in 4 car crashes involving children are side impact collisions. They are by far the deadliest type of collision for children, accounting for 1 in 3 child fatalities; nearly all of which are caused by head trauma. These are frightening facts, but Safety 1st has been by your side for 25 years providing innovative products to help protect your child from becoming a statistic. It is in this tradition that we proudly announce Air Protect™ side impact technology.

In preparation of the little bundle of joy about to make her arrival to our home, choosing an infant car seat has been at the very top of the list. We want to make sure she is 100% safe while traveling in the car.

Safety 1st graciously sent us the onBoard™35 Air SE Infant Car Seat to review.  When it arrived I was very excited to test it out. Here is what it looked like straight out of the box. Ready to use. No putting together required.  The only thing I had to do was read the instruction manual to make sure I knew just how to use it properly and how to install it correctly. I will not be able to adjust it to the right shoulder strap size until I can put the new baby in it and fit it custom to her. Other than that it was ready to use, right out of the box. I was impressed with it’s carrying capacity as it can be used from a tiny 4 to a full 35 pounds and up to 32” in height. Also it features 17% more leg room than most infant car seats. That means my baby can use it longer and she will be safer facing the rear of the car.

It features a detachable base that you can leave in the car. So you can easily put the carrier in and out without having to mess with seat belt straps. We went ahead and ordered a second base online so we can leave one in each of our vehicles. A definite must in my opinion.

I absolutely love the sleek look of this car seat. The handle bar is comfortable to grip and this is a definite must-have when you will be carrying the baby around from errands to friends and families homes. It is a Carry Curve™ Handle that features an ergonomic design. The fabrics are soft and very appealing to the eye. It features Premium fabrics with custom embroidery. One of my favorite features is the support for babies head. The material is super soft and will keep baby safe and in the upright position with her head supported greatly.

It also features a level within the carrier itself that helps putting it in the car and making sure it is in the proper position for babies safety. This was a feature that my hubby was definitely impressed with.

We are very pleased with how much effort Safety 1st has put into helping us keep our little one safe in the car. We highly recommend the onBoard™35 Air SE Infant Car Seat to every mommy, daddy, & baby!

Safety 1st engineers designed Air Protect™ using next generation testing methods that simulate the most violent types of side impact crashes, those with vehicle intrusion. Using this advanced methodology, Air Protect™ was engineered to defend your child in two vital ways. During a crash, the system immediately shields your child’s head from the impact. In a second layer of defense, Air Protect™ allows air to escape from the headrest: channeling crash energy away from your child, creating more ride down time. It is this double layer of protection that makes Air Protect™ technology unique.

Moo! {Britax Chaperone Infant Carrier Review}

When waiting on your new bundle of joy the first thing you think of buying is a car seat to bring baby home from the hospital. I have spent hours online searching for the BEST car seat for my precious baby girl. Britax graciously sent me the Chaperone Infant Carrier in Cowmooflage for my new arrival this fall. I was so happy when it arrived as I know this is a top notch baby carrier with the name Britax. It arrived and when I pulled it out of the box it was ready to use. No need for tools or putting together. Simply adjust the straps for baby’s size and attach the base in the car and you are ready to roll.

We were very impressed with how sturdy and heavy duty the base was. There is no question that the car seat will snap into it and be secure. Plus you can tell when it is in correctly.  Safety is a big thing for a new parent and Britax delivers just that.

The canopy is very generous allowing lots of air around the baby and sun/wind protection. The bar is super strong and really has a nice handle to grip when carrying my little one. The pattern is super cute and I adore it! It makes such a cute statement with the cow print, I am sure to turn heads. Definitely one of a kind. Not only do I adore the pattern but the safety features:

True Side Impact Protection
distributes crash forces, shields from vehicle intrusion, contains the head and body, and keeps the head, neck and spine “in true” or aligned, to limit injury
Quick-Adjust Head Restraint & No-Rethread Harness
easily adjust the harness shoulder height and head restraint without disassembling the harness
Anti-Rebound Bar
stabilizes child seat by minimizing rotational forces associated with front and rear collisions

I highly recommend this car seat to any new or expectant mom & dad!

It is available in seven fabrics and you can purchase your own Britax Chaperone online for $229.99 or at your local retailer.

The Best Car Seat Blanket Ever! {Zoomby Blanket Review}

imageimage

Wait until you see what I have to show you today! I am super excited to introduce you to the ZOOMBY BLANKET!  I mean this is the BEST baby blanket for your car seat I have ever seen. I have purchased my fair share of blankets for my little one, but they always fell out of the car seat and I felt that they never truly kept imagehim snuggly and warm. I had the opportunity to try out a Zoomby blanket with my little niece who is 2 months old. We positioned the blanket in the car seat and pulled the harness through the designated holes in the blanket. We then placed the little princess in the car seat as we normally would and secured her in. Then we continued to fold the blanket as shown in this demo until we tied the ends. WOW! She was ready to go out for an afternoon of errands and the blanket covered her PERFECTLY! There was no way she would be getting cold during this outing. I will definitely be getting one of these for all my future babies and they will make awesome shower gifts for my sisters and friends! Way to go Andrea you have an awesome product to that will help make every moms life easier (and their little one’s warmer too!).

Get your own Zoomby Blanket! They come in a bunch of colors and patterns. Including organic and fleece.

At Zoomby™ LLC, we are passionate about improving the busy lives of modern parents by providing a high-quality, helpful, innovative and beautiful product at a fair price and with imageexceptional service. Our car seat blankets make outings with your baby easier, more comfortable, and thus, more enjoyable for both of you. I started the company shortly after the birth of our first child, Oscar, in 2002. Inspired by a handmade gift and the deep desire to stay home with my newborn son, I was confident that other parents would find a cleverly-designed car seat baby blanket a very useful and handy accessory and enjoy using it as much as we did. I knew, too, that a Zoomby™ blanket would make a most unique and wonderful baby shower gift!

imageSafety 1st is a company built on unwavering commitment to safety and value. You can see their commitment in the innovative products they have out right now. Including the new Safety 1st® Complete Air™ Convertible Car Seat with Air Protect. Safety 1st generously sent us one of these new car seats to review.

Our little guy is nothing but little anymore. He has grown so quickly and has far outgrown his infant car seat now that he is over 25 lbs and almost 16 months old. So when this arrived imageon our front door step we were very excited. We pulled it out of the box and he quickly climbed into it like he knew just what it was. Installing our new car seat was a breeze. It took me about 10 minutes to read through the manual and adjust the straps to our son’s height. Then my hubby put it in the car in under 5 minutes. He commented on how easy it was to put it and how nice it will be when we need to move it from car to car. It features a one click latch system which is awesome. This is definitely a car seat that will grow with our little one and keep him very safe. Thanks Safety 1st for making such great high quality and safe products to protect our precious little ones!
