The Diono Radian RXT Convertible Booster is the Only Car Seat You’ll Ever Need

April 14, 2016 by Kathryn 15 Comments

When it comes to a new baby, there are lots of fun little purchases to make, from cute onesies to first toys. But there are also those bigger purchases that take more thought and research in order to make the absolute best choice for baby. And one of the most important purchases any new parent will ever make is the all-important car seat.

When my boys were first born, I knew that I’d need a great car seat. Living in a rural Saskatchewan town meant that I had to do lots of driving just to get basic essentials like groceries. And since my boys would be spending a fair bit of time in a car seat, I wanted one that was versatile, comfortable for my children and, above all else, safe.

I only wish that the Diono Radian RXT Convertible Booster had been around back then! This car seat combines all the essentials parents want in a car seat so that everyone can enjoy the drive in style. My favourite feature of the car seat is definitely its versatility. With the ability to safely secure children from five to 120 pounds, it’s the only car seat purchase a family will ever need to make! [Read more…]

4 Car Seat Safety Tips Every Parent Should Know from a Child Passenger Safety Expert

April 22, 2015 by Kathryn 2 Comments

Even though every parent knows that keeping babies properly secured in a car seat is important, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that three out of every four car seats are installed incorrectly. I know that I often wondered if I had properly secured my boys’ seats in the car and also questioned when I should move them to seats meant for older or larger children. I only wish that I’d had Kelley Adams-Campos to advise me back then! Recently the top Ford child passenger safety expert came to Regina to share her knowledge of car seat safety with teen mothers who attend the Shirley Schneider Support Centre and even having raised two kids, I learned a lot. Here are four great tips from Kelley:

Keep Kids Facing Back

Children should remain in a rear-facing seat for as long as possible, says Kelley, since it minimizes the chance of neck and head injury in the event of a collision. Check the manufacturer’s instructions to find the maximum height and weight recommended for having a seat facing the rear and don’t turn it forward before a child reaches it. Ideally, Kelley says, children should be rear facing until at least two years of age. If you’re concerned about your baby being able to see you, remember that he’s never known any other way of driving and so won’t miss a thing. And if you’re worried about checking on your little one while driving, stop. Distracting yourself from the road to entertain your child just puts both of you in greater danger of an accident.

Three Great Holiday Gift Ideas for Infants from Evenflo

December 12, 2014 by Kathryn 46 Comments

Shopping for a baby during the holiday season is so much fun and this year, Evenflo has some fabulous gift options for a special new baby in your life. Gifts from Evenflo are as practical as they are stylish and are sure to delight both little ones and their parents! These are my top three baby gift picks from Evenflo this year:

ProComfort Triumph LX Convertible Car Seat

This car seat is a great gift for a new parent since it can be used as both a rear and front facing seat for infants between 5 and 65 pounds. The easy harness adjustment is a huge plus for new parents. Rather than fumbling to loosen and tighten straps, a quick turn of the adjustment knob results in perfect harness snugness in seconds. And because comfort is important too, the seat also features a unique Gel Matrix technology that reduces pressure point build-up to help keep babies comfortable and properly seated even on long rides.
