The information currently contained in this blog post reflects testing data that your company MADE PUBLIC ON YOUR OWN WEBSITE that showed a test failure with the 3 year old dummy. Nowhere on your website - or in our email conversations - did you indicate that this data reflected an improperly installed booster or that it was preliminary data from a testing phase. <br /><br />If an experienced crash test facility, like MGA, could not figure out how to properly install the booster, it concerns me that parents might make the same installation error.<br /><br />We look forward to further information that you provide on the safety and testing of your Easycarseat booster - and will share this information as it becomes available.<br /><br />Best<br /><br />The Car Seat LadyThe Car Seat Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573866801956001939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103187310918122283.post-8959793957311505342011-04-05T10:31:57.477-04:002011-04-05T10:31:57.477-04:00She also looks to tall to be in this seat with her...She also looks to tall to be in this seat with her ears at the top of the shellKyndalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103187310918122283.post-2980583287797054822011-04-04T20:22:48.357-04:002011-04-04T20:22:48.357-04:00Just had a horrible experience with our five year ...Just had a horrible experience with our five year old in our RAV. Wife pulled up and my daughter unlatched herself. We're not sure exactly what happened next but the belt was wrapped around her neck. When she realized that she couldn't get her head out of the "noose" she panicked making the noose tighter and tighter. I was able to race in the house and get out the scissors and cut her loose, but it was a scary couple of minutes. I'm a bit flabbergasted that we couldn't manually release the belt and we would have been in serious trouble if we hadn't been sitting in the driveway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338086926581450790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103187310918122283.post-55672868666709521962011-04-04T19:54:00.476-04:002011-04-04T19:54:00.476-04:00This is to notify that every hour this post stays ...This is to notify that every hour this post stays online is being recorded and archived.Kornel kathihttp://easycarseat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103187310918122283.post-35506975620470766392011-04-04T16:30:02.986-04:002011-04-04T16:30:02.986-04:00Wow!

We...Thank you so much for posting this information! We have been dealing with this dilemma for over three vehicles, in almost the same number of years. We have 5 children ranging from 25-44 lbs. The three eldest are independent and old enough to use a booster (our kids are tall and thin). Our solution was to keep getting bigger and bigger vehicles. We're now into a full-size van, with a 3-D puzzle solution using a combination of 5-pt harness carseats. At some point, the kids will just want to use the seat-belt (our eldest is turning 7 in a week, but weighs less than our 5 year old who is also taller). These options are great and I'm thrilled to find your site and see some new solutions to this ongoing issue. <br />Now maybe, I can downsize to a standard mini-van again soon....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103187310918122283.post-51837993137526687332011-02-24T19:01:17.253-05:002011-02-24T19:01:17.253-05:00We travel a lot and this would have come in handy ...We travel a lot and this would have come in handy for the trip coming up!

I've never thought they looked like they do much compared to a high back's belt guide.<br /><br />I really, really, really want (actually, need) one for 3 across in a Prius - another benefit that I see is that this booster is far less of a hazard than others in an accident if it is not fastened down with a safety belt or in a trunk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103187310918122283.post-278980475068795152011-01-13T10:06:49.683-05:002011-01-13T10:06:49.683-05:00off to cut my bundle me right now!

It was designed for children to wear in car seats so they don’t have to wear bulky jackets. It is a poncho that easily goes over child’s head. When they are placed in their car seat the back flips over the front so the child is comfortable and the harness can be tightened directly against their body. I have been using mine in the cold Chicago winter. I could not go through winter without it.<br />http://www.flipovermeponcho.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
