Child Safety Car Seats for a Truck Question :)? We have a 2001 ford ranger with Jumper seats (Side Facing lap belt only) in the back. Then up front we have 3 seats (Passenger, Middle and Driver). The Passenger air bag CAN be easily turned off with the key. Now my question is if anyone knows if we can use the jumper seats? Is there a certain child car seat we need to buy or an attachment? Otherwise I know we can put then in a normal car seat in the Passenger side with the air bag off... But I wanted to know all my options before the baby is born :). We still have time since I am due in June... I just want to make sure we are prepared for our babies arrival. I always heard back seats are best...

court ordered child car seat safety course? i got a ticket a little over 2 months ago mostly because i had loud music playing and the cop stopped me mostly for that. he saw that my child was in the back seat, now i know i shouldnt play loud music while my son is in the vehicle but he loves it he has my taste he's 3 years old and tells me to turn up the volume, but anyways the officer started to yell at me and said i was a bad parent so i told him to stop telling me about parenting and told him that that wasnt his job and we argued for a good minute and a half when he just got fed up and wrote me a ticket for not having my child seated the proper way just because he saw my son wiggling and moving back there, well anyways i knew he was gonna give me a ticket even if i had not argued with him thats why i did it. the court ordered me to take a class on child seat safety so my question is for anyone who has taken this class, how long is it and whats the average price. just courious thanks.

I am looking for the best video that shows the importants of child safety seats.? Beleive it or not. I am in Kuwait and here they don't require seatbelts or child safety seats. I am not kidding, children sit on adults laps. Some sit on their laps when they are driving or stick their heads out the windows like you see animals doing in the USA. I am having trouble convencing my husband's family on the imporants on putting my daughter in her car seat. My husband has even told them that he agrees with me and they must put her in a car seat. I have recently learned that behind my husband's and I's back that they have been just brushing our words aside and doing what they want. It makes me so mad and I can't trust them until I can get them to understand the dangers.

Child Safety Seat Replacement after a car accident? I was recently involved in a fender bender. Not much damage but a dented in front corner. Me and my 14 month old son were in the car at the time. I've been told that I can get a replacement car seat from the other guys insurance along with my repairs. The damage isn't bad at all, but i've been told that "by law" they are required to replace my child's car seat. Does anyone know if this is true? Before I go talking to the insurance adjuster talking about "the law", I want to make sure I know what I'm talking about. Can anyone help me out? by the way, i'm in Texas. It was the other guys fault. If this is true, a direct link to the information would be helpful. Or something I can tell the insurance company, "look at this". Thanks

I need help to open my own web site. It has to do with child safety in a car seat.PLEASE HELP ME!? I have filed for a patent and have obtained a trademark called KID-LOVE. This is a tool for use in weaving a seatbelt through the back of a childs carseat which anyone who has ever installed a childs carseat knows how difficult this can be. You place the carseat firmly in the backseat of your vehicle. Then you slide the handle with a hook type object through the back of the childs carseat and attach the seatbelt on the hook portion of the handle. You then gently pull the seatbelt through the back of the carseat. Remove the handle and connect the seatbelt. The childs carseat should now be nice and secure, thus now making your child safer and making the installation so much easier. They come in red, green, yellow and blue. If you or anyone you know would like one, please send a check or moneyorder to Kid-Love for $4.99 Plus $2.00 P&H to Kid-Love, 266 Raven Rd. ,Victoria, Texas 77905

Does Air Canada provide child safety seats onboard? I'm travelling from UK to Canada. My daughter is 7 months old and I'm going to pay for her own seat- they have an option for the child to travel on parent's lap but not keen on this. I've read Canada Air's terms which say that the child safety seat to be used 'must be certified to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard' but since I did not buy my daughter's car seat from Canada I doubt it meats those regulations. The terms state that a bassinet can be provided on a first come first served basis but what about a safety seat? Thanks

How can I safely install a child safety seat in an older car (1994 Honda Civic)? I have a 1994 Honda Civic DX. I want to install a newer child safety seat, LATCH system compliant, which requires a top tether anchor. This seat ("Safeguard Go") has been great in our other car but you can't just use the lap belt, you have to attach the top tether somewhere as well. Someone must make a kit of parts that allows you to retrofit an older car with a top tether that's LATCH compliant? But even though I'm relatively good at Googling, I can't seem to find one. I have seen implications that there were some kind of standard anchor point mounts in older cars that were ready to have anchors installed, but specific info to a 1994 Civic hasn't been easy to come by. I did try calling the dealer but they want nearly $100 to do it. Anyhow, any suggestions would be great. Addendum for MichaelS-- Not sure how to ask you specifically a q so I'm posting an addendum. The daughter I'm trying to install this seat for is autistic and very good at getting out of the lap/shoulder while driving, which is why I can't use them or a plain booster seat. It is discouraging to hear that there may not be a good spot to anchor a top tether (I see what you mean about the thin sheet metal.) I've been also interested in finding some kind of solution something like the harnesses they use on my daughter's school bus, and since you clearly know school buses thoroughly I'd love to ask you. Is there any way an individual with a car can get some kind of solution in their car something like the harnesses used on school buses, with kids who won't stay in their seats? I have looked at the website of a company called "EZ-ON" (ezonpro.com), are they safe? Broadly, what would you recommend for my case, short of buying a new car (not an option right now)? Thank you! Just wanted to add some follow up to my own question. I got some more info. from user 'MichaelS' who verified that EZ-ON is a widely used and accepted company for providing these kinds of products for school buses, and also makes products for the home market, so I am going to contact them. All the answers were useful but I'm picking the MichaelS one as the best one because it was the *most* useful to me.

In what year was the first infant or child car seat was made? Infant or children car seat that attaches in the car for the safety of a child

Baby Car Seats Crash Test Information? Newborn and Baby Consumer Reports Magazine Crash test worries In its February 2007 issue, Consumer Reports magazine reported on crash tests it performed to test the safety of car seats. The results were not encouraging. Most of the infant car seats tested by Consumer Reports "failed disastrously" in crashes at speeds as low as 56 km/h. The seats came off their bases or twisted in place, the report said. In one case, a test dummy was hurled more than nine metres. Of the 12 car seats tested, Consumer Reports said it could recommend only two, and it urged a U.S. federal recall of the poorest performing seat, the Evenflo Discovery, which is not sold in Canada. All the car seats passed U.S. standards — but Consumer Reports argues those standards should be raised. To be sold in Canada and the United States, an infant seat must perform adequately in a 48 km/h frontal crash, and Consumer Reports found that all but the Discovery did so. But it noted that the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducts its crash tests for new cars at higher speeds — 56 km/h for frontal crashes and 61 km/h for side crashes — so the magazine tested the seats at those speeds. "It's unconscionable that infant seats, which are designed to protect the most vulnerable children, aren't routinely tested the same as new cars," said Consumer Reports' Don Mays, a product safety director. The only seats that passed all the tests were the Baby Trend Flex-Loc and the Graco SnugRide with EPS — expanded polystyrene foam — both selling for about $90 US. Consumer Reports urged parents shopping for seats to buy one of those two, but it also noted that "any child car seat is better than no seat at all." It also said some seats performed better when attached by vehicle safety belts than when attached with the LATCH system. The system, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children, includes belts that hook the base of a car seat to metal anchors in the vehicle. Consumer Report Article On January 4, 2007, Consumer Reports published a safety alert in the U.S. claiming that most infant car seats failed their new front- and side-crash evaluation tests. The report also claims that of 12 seats tested, only two performed well: the Baby Trend Flex-Loc and the Graco SnugRide with EPS (i.e., expanded polystyrene). Only six of the twelve infant car seat models chosen by Consumer Reports for this testing are officially certified for and marketed in Canada. They are: the Graco SnugRide; the Peg-Perego Primo Viaggio SIP; the Evenflo Embrace V; the Graco SafeSeat; the Safety 1st Designer 22; and the Combi Centre ST. Transport Canada wants to reassure the Canadian travelling public that the Department’s collision investigations and data analyses do not support the results obtained by Consumer Reports. When car seats are used correctly, they perform effectively in motor vehicle collisions and child occupants are afforded optimum protection. The Department takes the safety of children travelling in vehicles very seriously and is continually working to improve crash protection for children through research, development and enforcement of safety regulations, participation in various national and international committees that work on policy development, and public awareness campaigns.

How do I get the seatbelts in my 99 Windstar to lock so that I can install a child safety seat? I'm borrowing my in-law's 99 Ford Windstar and need to install 2 child safety seats in the 2nd row seat. But it seems to me that the seatbelts do not lock, so there is no way to keep the seat installed tightly. In my car that I usually drive, you need to pull the seatbelt all the way out in order for it to "lock". Any ideas?

If there are so many child safety in cars laws out there, how did we Boomers survive in our parents cars? There are so many laws now out there regarding strapping a child into a safety seat or booster seat or whatever it takes so that your kid is not bounced around like a pinball while you're driving. When we Boomers were kids, there were no such laws (not to mention no seat belts or anything else of that nature) and we survived things that would make a younger person of today's hair curl. Do you think that the government wants the next generation to become a bunch of marshmallows or is there a real danger out there that didn't exist 40 or 50 years ago. Come on - let's make sense!

The baby is ALWAYS on the mother's lap and in the front seat. There isn't even a child seat in the car. I'd like to make an anonymous tip to the police, but I'm not sure how to do this. Don't the police actually have to catch them in the act? Also does anyone know the penalty for not using a child-safety seat in Wisconsin? These parents aren't young (mom is over 30, dad is over 40) and they ceratainly aren't poor. I don't understand why they are taking this chance with their precious child...

Front facing car seats, old vs. new.? I have a 14 month old that's ready for a front facing car seat. I didn't think about it until recently, but it's an older one where there's a kind of handle bar thing that comes down over the head and fastens in front of the stomach/ chest of the child. I started looking online today and I don't see any of these car seats being sold. Are they still safe? Or are they no longer considered safe after all the new child safety seat laws? Any answer will be appreciated.

child car restraint safety laws? I discovered my ex was making my 6 year old ride sitting on the floor of their car because there was no passenger seat. I estimate this must have happened at least 30 times. After I found out I insisted they install a seat, which they did before the next visitation. I am considering calling CPS because of the repeated endangerment of my child, but what can they do now since it has been fixed? Is this criminal and if so what are the consequences? I hope answer #1 is being sarcastic...

Has anyone safely installed a child seat in their classic car? I have a late 60's ford, and I dont have the financial means to get a newer car.

Please dont respond telling me to get another car, because if I could, I would in a heartbeat.

Child safety in the car. Unreasonable parents.? I live in a big city so I see situations like this almost every day: kids jumping all over the car back seats, hanging between the driver and passenger seat, kneeling on the back seat looking through the back window, not that they don't even have appropriate seats in the car they also don't have the seat belts put on. Are some parents really that unreasonable? Is it worth injuring ( the best case scenario) your own child than take a few seconds to fasten the seat belts? Do you let your children behave like that in the car? Thanks everyone for sharing your opinions. I'd never let my children out of their seats. They are always strapped in. My 4 1/2 year old always checks if all the seatbelts are fastened :) He knows it's for our own safety.

Why does a rear facing car seat need to be positioned at a 45 degree angle? I consider myself well-informed about child safety seats and their installation, but I am curious as to WHY a rear-facing seat needs to be at a 45 degree angle. I'm not disputing this, I'm just curious what would happen if it was installed tightly but at a 90 degree angle, with the child lying flat on his back. Thanks.

When traveling with kids still in a car/ booster seat what state laws should I follow? I am planning a vacation for my family and I have a 3 year old son who is in a booster seat. The booster seat he is in follows the law in the state we live. When traveling do I need to follow my state law (since that's our residency) or do i need to follow the law of each state we go through (4 states)? Each state is different so that means I may need a differnet type seat depending on the state and their law. I have already found the child safety seat laws for each state we will be traveling through, I just don't know if those laws apply to residents of the state or for anyone traveling through the state. What do I do, or where can I find this information at?

Does anyone have spare parts to a Designer 22 Safety 1st car seat? We have had one child already, and we took off all the straps and things to clean them, and we misplaced the safety latch hook that hooks the straps into the buckle in between the legs. We are trying to find if someone has a seat they no longer use or knows where I can get one. Our model number and our manufacture date from the side have both been worn off and since we have neither one, we can not order the pieces. Or if you can just e-mail me the model number and manufacture date, we can order the pieces ourselves. Thanks!

We need a small (used) car that will fit 2 car seats... what are your suggestions? I have a young son and soon another one coming, so we're going to need a car that will fit 2 car seats. Obviously safety is an issue for us... but we just can't afford a big SUV or mini van. What cars do you suggest and why... price is an issue, so keep that in mind. *And please, no comments about just sucking it up and buying a "safer" car for my children that is out of our budget... thanks *

Our car seat is not working well in our new suburban that has 2nd row bucket seats. Any suggestions? We have bucket seats in the middle. The car seat forces the driver/passenger to have to ride with their knees into the dash. Anybody else have this problem? What did you do? If your only advice is to tell us to suck it up, please don't answer. We understand that our child's safety comes first. Just wondering if anybody had any solutions.

My husband is out of town and just informed me he bought a 95 200zx SE-R, we are expecting our first child in October and as our older car did not have airbags he thought this would be safer (at least that's his excuse). I know it's a coupe and I have been unable to find car seat compatability for it. Does anyone know of any carseats that will fit in the center of the backseat. Or can anyone at least tell me that this is one of the worst cars for child safety??? Warning: Your answers may directly affect my husband's life (or loss of :)

safety and childrens car seats.? Just a question regarding childrens car seats. When my son was born my daughter moved into a 'maxi rider' car seat which has been really fantastic. Such a great buy, now 3 years on my son is ready for a bigger car seat. I was going to put him in the maxi rider and my daughter (who is now 5) in a nother seat... I was thinking of buying one of those seats that sit on the carseat and the car seat belt wraps around. You can buy them from target, kmart as well as proper baby shops. I was thinking this as a cheaper option but saftey comes first. Alot of my friends have these types of seats for their children and say they are fine but I saw on a news show once that they arnt as safe. Just want your opinion as we dont want to spend the big bucks if its just for a fancier car seat but like i said if it is a saftey issue for sure then this i wont compromise. what are your thoughts?

Can you open a Child Safety locked back door FROM THE INSIDE? I'm trying this for a fan-fiction; it's one of those quick details that'll probably never come up again, but it's been bugging me for a week. This character flashes back to his childhood. He gets kidnapped, and has no time to prepare, so it's not like he brings a lock-pick set or anything. Anywho, he's shoved into the back seat of this car, and the doors are locked with child safety locks (or for more of a challenge, I'll accept input on police cars, whose back doors aren't supposed to open AT ALL from the inside, or so the movies have it....) ....How does he get out? Can he get at the lock from the inside so that he can escape, and more important, how does he do it before the kidnappers realize what he's doing? (No, they're not bumbling idiots, I just want him to be really good at what he does.) Or must I to cheat on that scene, and when (end of flashback) he's asked how he got out , he responds only with "Very carefully"? I may have other quick-shot fiction questions in the future.

Car Seat Safety Question...? The other day my husband wrecked our car... my child wasn't in there. THANK GOD! However, his car seat was. I know that the seat would be no good if he'd been in it, becasue of the stress it would have been put under. What I don't know is if it would still be considered compromised as a result of the accident if there wasn't any wieght in it... Does any one know by chance?

Infant Car Seat Safety Standards? I'm pregnant with my first child, and recently purchased a travel system for my unborn baby. I bought the Graco Infant Safeseat, because I had heard and read alot of good reviews about it online. But then today I saw on the news that the seat didnt pass all safety test for the government standards, along with many other name brand seats. Did anyone else see this? What is your opinion? I want my child to be the safest possible. Has anyone else used this infant seat?
