Car Seats (& Mighty Tites)

This is a great place on the web to learn about carseats!  The Car Seat Lady
And, may I strongly encourage the use of a Mighty Tite to go with this info!!

You will find accurate, up-to-date information from NHTSA-Certified Child Passenger Safety technicians and instructors about how to keep your most precious cargo safe:

  • the best car seat for your child and your vehicle
  • when your child is ready for a booster seat
  • how to use a car seat in a taxi
  • how to use a car seat on an airplane
  • why rear-facing is safer than forward facing
  • how to pick a safe vehicle
We also offer experienced, private car seat installation lessons in the New York City and Baltimore areas.
Or if you live elsewhere, find a qualified car seat installation expert near you to teach you how to properly install your child's car seat.
Read our response to the recent Consumer Reports article (Feb. 2007) Please note that on 18 Jan 2007, Consumer Reports withdrew the article.

As "the car seat lady" mentioned in your post I am honored that you found my website helpful. However, I have to say that I do NOT recommend using the Mighty Tite as it is not an approved product by the car seat manufacturers, and the use of it will invalidate the car seat manufacturer's warranty. Having installed more than 5,000 car seats I have yet to find a seat that I can't get tighter using approved methods than with a Mighty Tite. Would you mind changing your post to omit the mention/recommendation for the Mighty Tite. Thanks, Alisa (Pediatrician & The Car Seat Lady)
