Emandbri's
Car Seat Page
In the spring of 1999 I needed to get new seats for my
two kids.
A long time
member of parentsplace, I went to the car seat board
to
find out more
info. I bought new seats for my kids and got sucked
into the
board! I'm now there every day giving people advice on
all
kinds of
issues and have now become a certified car seat
technician
myself. I
wanted to share the following links to educate people
on
car seat issues.
