I just returned from a grueling 11 hour drive home after visiting family for the Thanksgiving holiday. Car travel can be brutal but staying safe while traveling is the most important factor.

But today the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration changed its guidelines for car seat restraints for children. In the new guidelines, NHTSA is advising parents and caregivers to keep children in their appropriate seat restraint [...]

I had the pleasure of receiving a Britax Roundabout 50 to check out after a heart clutching story broke on the news. An Elm Grove, Wisconsin mother was trapped in front of an oncoming train with her child seated in the back, in a Britax Roundabout. The father, following behind in a separate car rushed [...]

I noticed this recall in my email, and as you know, we don’t typically post an article about every recall but when it comes to bigger items and massive recalls like car seats and cribs I try to bring it up. I know how busy we all mare being parents or grandparents that sometimes these [...]

I don’t normally post electronics to SafeMama™ but this one I decided to review because one of my biggest pet peeves of drivers is people who talk on their phones and drive at the same time… not that I don’t expect anyone to ever do it, it’s just that so many people are BAD at [...]

I’m at the point where I started wondering when it was appropriate and safe to graduate my 3 1/2 year old to a booster seat. Turns out, not yet. I started to think about it because it’s become increasingly difficult for him to climb in an out of the Britax Advocate he’s using. While I’m [...]
