i find them the best place to pick up child seats. You can also shop online on their website. Also they are offering some great discounts right now, so make your purchase soon. Good Luck! | |

| ![]() I just read this account on child deaths in cars in the US. It is horrendous to say the least, but it also emphasises on one important point to accept: our own responsibility and alertness, not just to our own car but to those around us. I am sorry if this sounds bad, but I do peek into other cars at parking lots just to verify no one is inside. Fatal Distraction: Forgetting a Child in the Backseat of a Car Is a Horrifying Mistake. Is It a Crime? |

| ![]() While checking on Anti-pinch windows feature for another Team-bhpian, I found this insane video clip. It’s quite stupid for the guy to get the kid as a test specimen. Irresponsible act indeed! Last edited by vb-san : 27th August 2011 at 20:24. Reason: text edited |

| ![]() With the advent of new cars in the Indian market, I would encourage readers to write about child safety features in these cars! |

| ![]() Good point. For a start, it will be good to know which all cars on sale have ISOFIX mounts on the rear seat. I remember reading in VW website that the New VW Jetta has it. |

It was a true premium hatch indeed. I am not sure after the re-positioning of the brand whether this feature is still available? | |

| ![]() IIRC, the isofix mounts are missing in the re-positioned Fabia. It will be good if Fabia owners can confirm this. |

BHPian | ![]() Once I see a swift guy was driving really slow in a narrow street and there were quite a few folks queued up behined him, I somehow managed to overtake and I could see that he has his kid sitting on his lap and kid is holding the steering. I slowed down, rolled window down and quickly signaled that he is doig wrong. He felt offended so badly that I could see him shouting at me and showing his hand as if he is going to get down to hit me. I was in hurry and thought not to waste my time to deal with an idiot. I usually send my kid to rear seat on highways and he always keeps complaining about it. However, we dont ask him to get buckled, because of his height the seat belt when put on comes at his neck level or above. Wondering what could be a best way for kids at this age for safe ride. |
