Car Seat Safety

Car seat safety for kids is extremely important, but until I had my son, I had no clue about car seat safety.  However once I was ready to purchase my son's first car seat, I did so much research that I could tell you all about car seats until you're tired of hearing about it.  I think many moms and caregivers are this way, because ultimately when we're transporting our kiddos, we want to make sure they are as safe as possible.  If you have a kid who is still small enough to be in a car seat, or you transport a small child regularly,  you can freshen up on car seat safety guidelines, here.

Nearly 60,000 Car Seats Recalled

  • Maxi-Cosi Micro Luxe+ IC370 seats manufactured between Jan. 1, 2022 and Feb. 28, 2023

According to the recall information from the NHTSA, the car seat anchors may fail which may cause the car seat to detach from the vehicle seat.  In the meantime, the NHTSA says the seats are safe to continue use as long as the seats are anchored with the vehicle's seatbelt and not the car seat's lower anchor system.

The top five boy names and top five girl names are listed for each state, as well as the number of babies born in 2018 with that name. Historically common names like Michael only made the top five in three states, while the less common name Harper ranks in the top five for 22 states.
