Car Seat Safety

If you have car seat(s) in your car, check out this website: http://www.seatcheck.org/. There are locations in every state that will check the installation of your car seat. We had a small problem with Jamie's about two weeks ago (his seemed to be rolling to the sides a bit much when we'd take a corner particularly fast...or at all.) I made an appointment with our local place, and they checked both Em's and Jamie's. Both were technically installed correctly, but had way too much wiggle room. It is scary to think that although both Shawn and I had checked both seats to make sure they were in right, these officers were able to tighten them so much more. Jamie's was also at the wrong angle. I'm sure they both would have been fine had we been in an accident, but there's only one way to know for sure, and I'm glad we didn't have to find out. They were able to do both seats in less than 30 minutes, so it's not like it was a big hassle.
