Any time I go out in the car with my son and his friend Sydney in tow, there's a little bit of Mommy paranoia in the back of my mind.
I worry about other drivers.
I worry about losing control on a slippery road.
I worry about an accident that might cause my son or his friend to become a flying object.
I even worry about ending up in the river near our home, which follows a winding road.
I'm sure statistics regarding the likelihood of an accident like one of these would put my mind at ease.
But I digress.
I've had the opportunity to try a product that gives my overactive imagination a break.
This nifty little device clips on to your existing seat belt for use with a regular lap/shoulder belt. It secures a child riding in a booster seat by fitting snugly at the hips, while still allowing for upper body movement and normal use of the shoulder belt. SeatSnug lessens the slack or looseness that can happen while using a seat belt.
Check out the SeatSnug website video that shows how the SeatSnug device can considerably lessen rocking, bouncing, tipping, etc that can occur while a child is riding in a booster seat.
My son is not quite ready for a booster yet, but I do transport a friend of his to and from school, and she does use a booster. I was excited to try the SeatSnug, because I just wasn't comfortable with the booster and our back seat belt system. The first couple of times she rode in our car, even while driving in a 30 MPH area, she moved around a little to much for my comfort.
The SeatSnug device was easy to attach to our seat belt, and I noticed a difference the first time we used it. My son's friend stayed put more with the SeatSnug than she did without it. She even commented that she liked the new seat belt and it wasn't uncomfortable.
I am impressed.
I would recommend that if you have a small child who uses a booster seat, take a look at the SeatSnug website and check it out for yourself. And seriously consider purchasing one for your own car.
You'll be glad you did.
Here's a Christmas bonus for you from the company...
