First, this post is not about car seat safety. That’s been
covered – and if you want to read about it there are plenty of places! Check out the links at the bottom of this post.
So what is this post about? It’s about the questions we
commonly get about car seats, and about picking one (or more) for your family!
Parents often want to know which car seat is the safest…
well, in the USA,
all car seats must meet the same safety standards. That means you need to pick
the one that has the features you want. Are you interested in rear facing your
child as long as possible? Are you interested in having one car seat as long as
possible? Are you interested in having an infant carrier car seat? What about
the look of the seat? Do you want it to match your baby gear? Match your car's interior? Be able to move it from car to car?
So, what car seats do we carry, and which might you want? We
carry Maxi Cosi, a European brand who makes car seats and boosters that will
work throughout childhood. They have bases in the Netherlands,
France,
and various other European locations. They make strollers, car seats, and other
baby gear with stringent safety standards and a sleek look!
Most of our clients choose to use an infant carrier seat first. It’s handy for things like taking out to restaurants (before baby’s ready to sit in that high chair and eat with you!), carrying in when you’re just running in the shop for a minute, or not waking a baby who’s fallen asleep in the car. The Maxi Cosi Mico fits babies from 5-22 pounds (don’t worry, you won’t want to lug that car seat and baby around after baby’s that big anyhow!) and comes in various colors and color combinations – come on in the shop and see the Playful Gray Mico!
After the infant carrier, move on up to the convertible Pria. You can actually start here if you don’t care for an infant car seat, and use their “tiny fit” system. Then, rear face your baby up to 40 pounds. Then it turns around and forward faces your child up to 70 pounds in the 5 point harness system – safety along with that sleek look! The Pria currently only comes in red, walnut brown, or black – tone on tone colors that will match your car’s interior, or stand out – your choice!
Finally, Maxi Cosi carries the Rodi, a lightweight booster
that fits all shapes and sizes of children and converts to a backless booster. It
comes in brown earth, intense red, lapis blue and total black.
These three seats will take your child from newborn through
their own driving years in style. If you’re having a new baby or are in the
market for a new car seat, come on in the shop, see what we carry, and take a
look at the adorable Mico with our slight scary baby-doll inside!
