There are a lot of safety issues on which I try to stay informed but there is one issue about which I am a true zealot: car seat safety. For children between the ages of 2 and 14, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death. That makes proper car seat use our front-line of defense against unnecessary injury and death for our children. Britax is an industry leader in child passenger safety.

Without going into details, let’s just say the accident was bad. Really bad.
