Safer Child Products

If you are a parent or a caregiver who routinely transports young children, then you know how difficult it is to get the child car seats installed properly.  Be sure that the child car seat is so tight that you cannot push or pull it more than 1 inch in any direction when you grab the child car seat at the rear where the seat belt goes.

Our children all get to the age where they want to buckle their chest clip themselves.  It’s wonderful that they feel they can participate! Make sure the chest clip is secured at armpit height. Be sure to check that the straps are tight enough that you cannot pinch a fold in the straps.

Did you know that the experts now recommend that children remain in a 5 point harness in a child car seat for as long as possible, to the maximum height and weight of the child car seat? This means that many children will be in a child car seat and not a booster seat at least past age 4.  Many children will start booster seats later.

When was the last time you washed your child’s car seat cover? We wash our hands regularly. We wash our clothes after wearing them. Does your child spit up, vomit, spill or have leaky diapers while traveling? Then why don’t you wash your child’s car seat cover more often? There have been times it would have been much easier for us to toss out the entire child car seat than try to clean it’s cover. I am sure most of you can relate to this frustration. My wife and I decided to take some action. We designed, patented and produced a secure and fast, easily removable (S.A.F.E.R) child car seat cover that is needed for those child car seat covers that are difficult to clean. It comes off and goes in the washing machine without taking out the entire child car seat from its secure position or taking apart the child car seat.

Hi. We are Allen Friedland M.D., F.A.C.P., F.A.A.P. and Stacey Friedland M.S.S.W.. Welcome to our new blog about child safety. We have always been shocked by how little information there is about individual child products and safety. As a parent and as a pediatrician, I have been struck by how difficult it was for me to choose amongst the choices of car seats, strollers, cribs, baby gates, helmets etc. for our children in order to keep them safe. There are few resources for me to help guide parents and caregivers with these important safety decisions. This blog is our way to help you with some common issues related to child safety and child products. We hope you enjoy and keep coming back for more safety tips.
