Britax Sale at Amazon
From February 24 to March 2, you can save up to 20% on Britax carseats at Amazon and a lot of them have free shipping, too. I need to get one for Baby Two. I just have to decide which one. I’m going to get the Companion Onyx. These are about the safest car seats you can get and the girly ones are really cute. We have a Decathlon Tiffany for Rinah and I love it. It holds babies 5 to 65 pounds and she’s not even 20 yet so she’ll be in it for quite a while still.
“Britax Sale at Amazon” has been splattered on 2 times.
We have three carseats, each for different ages. They are definitely more safer than one single all-weights seat. And it turned out not to be a waste, since we got baby 2 and would have needed a new seat anyway.
When we rented cars in the US last year the seats they offered were all really bad, just cheap plastic. I was a bit surprised that the safety concern was that low in the US. In the country where they print “objects are closer than they appear” on car mirrors…
And few airlines would provide belts for lap sitting babies or even life vests for them. We were told just to hold the baby in the arms. While a belt perhaps wouldn’t help in a crash anyway, I do think it could be too difficult to hold a baby in heavy turbulence. If we wanted a belt, we would have to find one and buy one ourself, they told us. Later, when we flew KLM we happened to tell a stewardess the story, and she told us that if we didn’t tell, she wouldn’t tell, if we just kept the belt they had given us. She came back to us and told us again to keep it when we disembarked, so now we have one of these belts in case we fly in the US again.
Leave your mark.

I saw one of my neighbors drive through a red light yesterday — and he had a tiny baby sitting on his lap at the time. I politely but firmly told him what he needed to hear.
