Car Seat Checklist – Taking Every Precaution for Your Child’s ProtectionTrue or False? “98% of car seats in use today are installed improperly.” After completing the National Child Passenger Safety Certification Training, our vote would be: True. The reason is because there are so many variables between vehicles, seat belt types, air bags, child restraint installation, child restraint placement within vehicle, harness adjustment, after market products, unsecured objects (projectiles) within the vehicle, and the list goes on….and on.

The following is a brief summary of tips to confirm that your child’s car seat will protect your child in the best possible way in the event of a crash:

1. Fill out the registration card that came with your car seat. This will insure that you

are kept informed of recalls. You can also find the most updated recall list at:

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/childseat.cfm

2. Make sure to use a car seat that has not been involved in a crash and is not older than 6 years. (Editor’s note: although we are in the reuse

business, it is not a good idea to use a car seat that you do not know the his-

tory of). This is one area not to skimp on. Car seats continually improve as technology improves.

3. Learn all you can from the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) which is the agency within the U.S. De-partment of Transportation focused on occupant safety. They are responsible for setting and enforcing safety standards for car seat manufacturers. Their web site http://www.nhtsa.gov is full of useful information regarding car seat safety. Another valuable resource is http://www.safekids.org.

4. Make sure you don’t have after market products in, on or around your car seat. Everything that came with your car seat has been crash tested—nothing else has been. Examples of items to avoid are car seat covers, toys, mirrors and sunshades. These items could either compromise the safety of the car seat or act as an injury-causing projectile in the event of a crash. Also, make sure that all other items in your vehicle are secured. Newton’s Law of Motion states that an object keeps moving in the direction it was headed at its original speed until it is stopped by some-thing. Crash forces are measured using the formula: weight x speed = force. An example would be if you have an after market mirror connected to your car seat that weights 4 oz. and you are

in a crash going 40mph there will be 10 lbs. of force striking whatever the mirror hits, hopefully not the baby (4 oz. x 40mph = 160 oz. = 10 lbs.). The tethers for after market toy fasteners and mirrors are unfortunately not required to be crash tested and it is probable that they would fail in a crash. It is important to understand that the forces involved in a crash can kill or cause serious injuries.

5. Carefully read through your vehicle and car seat manufac-turers’ manuals for proper installation and recommendations. Make sure:

you understand what type of seat belts and/or latch system • you haveyou know where your air bags are• you position the car seat in the best location within the • vehicle (the manual should help you)you confirm the car seat is installed securely (once secured, • it should not move more than 1” in any direction at bottom of car seat closest to the belt path or anchor)you confirm the car seat is facing the correct direction (rear- • or forward-facing according to car seat manual or stickers on car seat)your child is within the age and weight recommendations • for the car seatyou have used the proper belt path (and that it is not twisted • and is properly locked—this will depend on what type of seat belt your vehicle is equipped with)you aren’t using multiple systems (example: seatbelt and • lower latch) for one car seatyou aren’t securing two car seats on one anchor bar• the harness is adjusted properly for the age and weight of • your child (very important)

Each item listed above is critically important and after reading your manuals, you may find that there is even more to consider based upon your specific vehicle and/or car seat.

6. If you have questions regarding the installation of your car seat, take your (a) vehicle, (b) car seat, (c) child, (d) vehicle manual and (e) car seat manual to a Child Seat Inspection Station. Locations can be found at http://www.nhtsa.gov. It is normally free but an appointment might be nec-essary, so make sure to call before going.

20 pounds it is advised that they be moved from rear-facing to forward-facing. The reality is: it is safest and considered “best practice” for them to stay rear-facing as long as the specifications of the car seat enable them to do so. This information can be found in the car seat manual and should also be located on a sticker attached to the car seat. Children should travel rear-facing as long as possible because of dramatically

increased crash protection. Many car seats can be used rear-facing until 35 lbs. (refer to the manual for confirmation and additional details).

Here are some more facts that surprised us:Once a child is forward-facing, it is • always preferable (although not always required based upon the weight of the child) to use the upper anchor/tether when available. Again, the upper anchor increases crash protection significantly in forward-facing car seats.Unsecured objects in cars are extremely dangerous if there • is a crash.In the event of a crash, after market car seat products can • be deadly.There is more than one type of seat belt retractor and latch-• plate. It is imperative that you understand what type you have in your vehicle and then install the car seat based upon that information. It is the belt/anchoring system that we are relying on in the event of a crash. It is important that this component does not fail.

Tiny Tots would like to congratulate Mark Phillips and Judy Aagard upon their successful completion of the National Child Passenger Safety Certification Training Program. Believe it or not, it was a grueling 40 hours of training, but hopefully it will result in Tiny Tots being a positive resource for correct car seat installations. We are also planning to carry car seats in our Boutique,

Diaper Cover Exchange ReturnsThe most requested section that we “bring back” on our updated website has been the diaper cover exchange. After much antici-pation, it is back! You can now post diaper covers wanted and/or needed. There is also a discussion forum where parenting ques-tions and ideas can be hashed over. It’s all at tinytots.com.

Diaper Service Payment OptionsPayments can be made either by check or credit card. Many of our customers put their account on auto charge. Anytime there is a balance on their account, the bank card we have on file is automatically charged. Our customers still receive a copy of the charges for verification purposes. We accept Visa, MasterCard or American Ex-press. Customers who pay by check simply put their payment in a used envelope and tape it to the outside of their bag of soiled diapers for pick up.

Tendercare Flushable WipesFlushable and have a gentle hypoallergenic alcohol-free natural formula that contains natural aloe and vitamin E. 50 count $4.00 per pack; $43.00 per case (12 packs)

The only single-use diaper on the market today that doesn’t contain super absorbent gelling chemicals (AGM) is Tushies. They are a healthier single-use diaper than the Seventh Generation, Nature Boy & Girl, Tendercare Plus, the G Diaper, Whole Baby Diapers from Whole Foods, and the mainstream brands. Flushable diapers require the same amount of raw materials to produce, including crude oil, for just a few hours use. There is no such thing as an eco friendly hybrid or single-use diaper.

See for yourself: Cut open the padding of a Tushies diaper and you’ll find a natural blend cotton and wood pulp fluff. Chemical-Free! Open the padding of any other disposable diaper and you can shake out white granules. These are the acrylic acid polymer salts. Put the granules in water and watch them turn into gel. This is the chemical connected with increased child asthma, increased scrotal tempera-ture and toxic shock syndrome.

Cleansing and Soothing WipesSpecially formulated to protect your baby’s tender skin. Wipes are soaked in an alcohol-free, no-rinse vegetable lotion that is well tolerated by the skin. Strong cloths leave skin clean, soft and moisturized. And they dispense one at a time like tissues! Re-seal-able pack of 70 wipes $10.50

Always stretch out your new clips.

Cleansing Cloths Made of pure spun lace from England. These thick, extra-soft cloths are soaked in a mild, no-rinse, fragrance-free solution consisting of gentle moisturizers that tenderly soothe and hydrate sensitive skin. Safe for baby’s face, body and bottom. Pop-top pack of 72 wipes $9.50

Baby OintmentHydrates baby’s skin by creating a moisture repellent barrier between the skin and sources of irritation. Works well on cradle cap, ultra dry skin and soothes chapped lips, cheeks and chins from drooling. It also works great on rough little knees and elbows. (4 oz. tube) $17.50

Earn Free Diaper ServiceThe number one way new customer’s hear about us is by YOU! We would like to say THANK YOU and give you $15 for every

new customer that you refer to us. They simply need to mention your name when they order the diaper service. There is no limit to the amount of referrals we will honor.

Easy Label Audit For Your Diaper CountAn easy way to have us audit your diaper inventory is to write a 2-word note on the label on the soiled bag before you set it outside - “25 left”, or whatever number of clean diapers are left in your home. These labels are cut off the diaper bag and turned into the office after the soiled diaper counter counts your bag and writes the count on the label. When we add up the number left + the soiled count + the number of diapers delivered that day, we can determine if your rotation is cor-rect. Some customers do this every week. Some do it once a month. **If you are on two or more types of diapers, please note which size you are auditing (25 Reg left, 10 Mega left).

Diaper SizesTiny Tots offers 100% cotton diapers in a variety of sizesPreemie for babies 3 to 5 lbs.Infant for babies 6 to 12 lbs.Regular for babies 10 to 25 lbs.Super extra thick for babies 18 to 25 lbs.Mega (Toddler) extra thick for babies 22 lbs. and upTraining Pants cotton pull-on training pants 29 to 32 lbs.

The above weights are guidelines. Every baby is shaped differently and there’s really no right or wrong time to make a size change. If the diaper you are using is no longer absorbing as well as it had been, it might be time to change, regardless of the weight of your baby. Give us a call when you are ready to change sizes.
