Car Seat Identification Kit


Over the weekend my family and I saw several wrecks. My oldest child commented that he had never seen a wreck before. I was thankful for that but even more thankful that he not only has never seen one but my family and I have never experienced one. Especially with my three small children. We have never been the victims of an automobile crash.

However, if we were to suffer from such a tragedy there is one thing we would need to be certain to have, proper identification. My children all three are still in car seats. In my mini van we have a booster seat for my 5 year old, an infant seat for my nine month old and a three point harness car seat for my two year old. Having the proper car seats is important for their safety in the event hat we were to experience an automobile collision.

Another thing that is important to have is the proper identification. You can purchase identification kits for your children that you can insert into their car seats so that in the case of a collision whether they are thrown from your vehicle or they are still inside the authorities that help you and your family would be able to safely identify your children. They can find out their names so that they can communicate with them, they can find out other information about them such as allergies in case they required treatment.

These identification kits can truly help save you and your family during a horrible experience such as an automobile accident. You will at least have the security of knowing that the police know who is in the car and how to properly identify and help them.

Keeping Your Child Safe in the Car

As a new parent one of the things I struggled with the most, was knowing when to change car seats for my child and the regulations that went along with this to make certain that they were safe.


As a new parent one of the things I struggled with the most, was knowing when to change car seats for my child and the regulations that went along with this to make certain that they were safe. It was all a bit confusing to me and I wished so many times that someone would make an easy to understand guide to doing so.

The following will hopefully help those of you who were like me and needed a little guidance in the matter.

INFANT – According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, infants should ride in a rear facing infant seat until they are one year old and weigh at least twenty pounds. This is the minimum. They can stay rear facing longer than this. The key here is that the seat should be rear facing.

TODDLER – A child who is over one year of age and weighs more than twenty pounds can ride front facing in a car seat. These are usually called convertible seats as you would move them out of the smaller infant seat at this point. However, the new safe suggestion is to leave them rear facing until the weight limit of the seat (usually 30 pounds). I really like the RADIAN 80 Car seat.

CHILD – The next step up is the booster seat. A booster seat is not recommended before age 4. After your child outgrows his or her convertible seat they can move into a booster and should remain in a booster until they are four feet nine inches tall at least. This is usually somewhere between the ages of eight and twelve.

After this, it is recommended that a child ride in the backseat of a vehicle until they are at least thirteen years old and wear a seatbelt with a lap and shoulder strap.

It is important that you make sure to install your child’s car seat properly and do all that you can to be sure that it is kept in a safe condition. Be sure that you reassemble it correctly when you take it out or wash the cover. Also if you are using a car seat you have had for a while, you will want to check and make sure that it still meets safety requirements and that it has no recalls. Also car seats come with an expiration dates (usually 6 years). After that they must be destroyed.

Your child’s safety is of utmost importance to you and car safety should be high on your list. Here is Kay Green’s article on car seat safety.
