Yes, a child may sit in the car seat while being pulled or pushed with the gogo Kidz. However, if your child weight over 30 pounds you need to tighten the tether strap (provided with the seat) over the handles as per the instructions. Always use the car seat restraint system when your child is in the seat. In addition to tightening the tether strap, re-check and tighten the thumb-screws to make sure that it is secure.

Currently the gogo kidz only works with the Britax car seats; however we have a new model that will be released in late June/July that will accommodate other major brand car seats.

The general rule of thumb here is that your child can sit in the car without a seat when he or she is tall enough that the shoulder belt fits at least an inch below the ear. This will help you make sure that the seatbelt will protect your child properly, and minimize the risk that he or she will be strangled by the seatbelt in an accident.

The “Gold Star” standard for determining when a child is ready to be graduated out of the booster seat is called the 5-Step Test.

Many parents think their children are too big for car seats or have outgrown their booster seats. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that children should be restrained in a booster seat until they are 4'9" and about 80 pounds. Regular seat belts are made for men who are 5'10" and 160 pounds. They are not designed to secure a child under 80 pounds. Yes, this quite possibly means that your 10 year old should still be in a booster seat!

Yes. Even with a large, 8.4” screen, the Concierge device is relatively small, with a total size of 10” x 8”. The interface won’t impede entry or exit for children.

Obviously in a two-seat car, there isn't much choice. In a vehicle with four or more seats, though, try to have your child sit in the rear for as long as possible, whether he or she is in a car seat or not. That's always the safest place.

Yes, the gogo Kidz can be used as a stroller. We have found that when you are traveling it can become cumbersome to have to bring along a regular stroller in addition to the suitcase full of your child's clothes, toys, books, car seat and other gear. During our travels, when we knew that the rental car or the taxi or any other means of transportation would make it difficult to lug a stroller to our final destination, we have chosen only bring the car seat with the gogo Kidz.

Most airlines accept car seats in addition to normal carry on or checked luggage provided approved space is available. When checking your car seat on a US Domestic or International flight you can bring your car seat to the gate to be loaded there. If checking a car seat as luggage the original box/packaging should be used. A liability release form must be signed.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends that all children 12 and under be restrained in the rear seat. Researchers estimate that putting a child in the back seat instead of the front reduces the chance of injury and death by more than 30%, whether or not the car has a passenger air bag. The center of the back seat is the farthest away from a possible side impact, so we always try first to install a safety seat there.

These inspections are conducted by state-certified inspectors. Call 866-732-8243 for the location of the nearest free safety check. You can also find more information at www.seatcheck.org.

Yes, Southern Skyways will accept FAA approved child restraint systems on board the aircraft. You are also permitted to check your car seat in addition to the two checked pieces of luggage you are permitted.

This varies from state to state so your first course of action would be to check the laws in your state. The important thing to remember here is that most children will not fit properly in the car without some sort of assistance until about 8 years old and 80lbs. Vehicle seats are designed on the model of an average 150lbs male and I do not know many 4 and 5 year olds that fit this bill.

There are a lot of car seats out there. Many tout having extra features to increase safety. Ultimately, however, the safest car seat for your child is the one that best:

The Taxi and Limousine Commission's (TLC) rules state that a passenger who is unable to enter or ride in the passenger part of the taxicab must be permitted to occupy the front seat alongside the driver.

The best car seat is one that meets your child's age and size requirements and is compatible with your car. Children are safer in the back seat of the vehicle. Generally, the middle seating position is the safest place in the car, but ONLY IF the child's car seat and the vehicle seat are compatible and you can get a tight fit.

It is not illegal under NYS law for a child passenger to ride in the front seat of a vehicle that has a passenger air bag, but it is dangerous. Recent studies show that air bags can cause serious or fatal injuries to infants, children or small adults that sit in the passenger-side front seat. It is also normally safer for a child of any age to ride in the back seat of any vehicle.

per NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission rules, it is not mandatory. You can request a car seat if you feel more secure, but there will be a charge for it. NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission rules exempt the drivers and passengers in Taxis and Black Cars from having to wear seat belts. Please feel free to use one if you wish. No. Smoking is prohibited for the driver and the passengers by the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission. All vehicles must be clean and smoke free at all times.

Plastic components contain chemicals that are added during the production process to impart specific properties, such as rigidity, durability or flame resistance. Many of these chemicals are not chemically bound to the plastic and are consequently released into the environment during the life of the product. This is often referred to as “off-gassing”. Heat and UV ray exposure can accelerate this process, and may also cause chemicals to break down into even more toxic compounds.

If you're in the market for a child car seat you've probably being hearing a lot about something called LATCH. But what is it? Well, LATCH stands for "Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children" and is a system for installing a child car seat in an automobile. Defined by the United States Federal Motor Vehicles Safety Standards, LATCH is designed to make installing a child's car seat easier.

Many children dislike the confines of a properly fitted harness strap or seat belts on boosters. This is a difficult disciplinary problem but here are some tips. 1) Make sure everyone in the car buckles up on every ride. 2) Dress the child for comfort, avoid heavy clothing between the harness strap and child. 3) pull over and stop and tell the child that you cannot drive unless everyone is buckled up, it's the law. There are harness systems specific to behavioral issues.
