Safe Car Booster Seats
Thanks to an article in March '10 Parents magazine, I found the list of safe car booster seats published by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. http://www.iihs.org/research/topics/boosters/default.html
Notice this list has 11 models of seat boosters that are NOT recommended, BUT...they advise you to NOT stop using them immediately....ANY booster seat is better than none, just replace them as soon as you can.
Car safety is such an important issue, we need to make sure our car seats are safe for the kids during the entire time they need to use them. In Massachusetts, we are required by law to keep the kids in a seat until they are 8 years old or 57 inches tall, then they use the car seat belt like the rest of us.
Check your booster seat against this list or CPSC's recall list just make sure they are still up to date for safety guidelines.

Crib Safety
Here, at Cutie Patutie's we value the safety of your family and always check items against the Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall list, and test it's structure, before we accept and sell any product.
It is up to us as parents, to do even more! Many times a product you own, may have gotten damaged in storage or moving, and we don't always replace an item as soon as it may need it.
As a general guideline, a car seat of any kind, must be replaced if it has been in ANY kind of car accident. Even a minor fender-bender can reduce the safety of these seats by making a small crack in the frame we wouldn't even be able to see. Aren't our kids worth the price of a new car seat??
Another item that gets over-looked many times are cribs. The crib you used as a child is NOT safe now! There are new guidelines and regulations regarding crib safety we should all be aware of. Check out this link to CPSC's crib guidelines for drop sided cribs. http://www.cpsc.gov/onsafety/2010/02/safe-sleep-part-1-the-crib/
It's amazing that something we use every day, may be harmful. Using a crib with replacement parts, even as small as a screw, can make the difference in the structural integrity of the crib. A gap between the mattress and frame of 2 finger sizes is all it takes for a baby to get caught and possibly hurt.
We ask you to please, check the safety of all your products used for your babies and replace them when they seem weak or worn out.

Winter cleaning?
As we were stuck at home today, I started to get cabin fever and think about spring cleaning. Maybe if we think of spring, it will come sooner??
I recently heard of a quick and easy way to clean the kids toys. Wipe hard plastic toys with a cloth soaked in vinegar, then rinse. The vinegar will clean all the germs and won't harm the kids!
Good luck cleaning, and remember, it's worth the work if it keeps the kids from getting sick!

Going away Feb. vacation?
A great way to save on items you might need for your trip is to buy from a consignment store before you go! We always have items that feature characters from vacation spots you might be visiting or warm weather clothes to fit the kids after the winter growth spurts!
I always pack a couple new toys or books in my daughter's travel bag. She loves to get the surprises in her bag, and can really ease the wait during travel. A new card game or book can make layovers and car rides a lot easier on everyone.
Happy Travels!
