I got a lot of calls about the car seat falling out of the car in Minnesota. In this case it was probably negligence. But remember to give a tug to your car seat to make sure some dude at the car wash did not unbuckle it to vacuum or someone's big brother was pressing red buttons in the back of the car. You'll know pretty quickly if it has become undone if you give it a pull!

Authorities said the car was driven by the child's mother, who returned to get the child.

A lot of questions about the Diono Radian recall last week. If your Diono convertible was made during the recall period but your seat is installed rear-facing, or if it is installed forward-facing using the tether, you don’t need to be overly concerned.

A lot of people have been asking about the Graco MyRide recall. It only affects models made around the summer of 2014, so most seats are unaffected. But if you are one of the unlucky ones, best to stop using the seat until Graco sends you a new harness system. https://carseatblog.com/42411/graco-myride-65-recall-may-2017/

Graco Baby is issuing a recall of some MyRide 65 convertible carseats. "In the event of a crash, the child seat webbing may not adequately restrain the child. As such, these car seats fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213" The recall affects certain seats wit

The Tesla Model X falcon wing doors allow tall people to load their kids into the carseat without smacking their head. This Graco installation looks sweet in the electric SUV. Just be careful with kids and anything motorized- making sure all body parts are safely within the vehicle before closing.

The first Maserati Levante SUV in the United States needs car seats. Who you gonna call? Strapped In! That peanut butter leather is sexy. Too bad Graco does not offer it as an option...

Any kid that can remove the weatherstripping of a minivan while getting into a carseat you have to love. Much respect! But in all seriousness first New Jersey and now Pennsylvania you must be rear facing until age 2. New York surely to follow suit... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrRqzdk93Gs
