SeatSnug Child Stability Device Featured By Pediatric Safety

Fort Washington, PA (PRWEB) February 14, 2011

Lap Belt Cinch, Inc. (LBC), developers of CG-Lock technology and makers of the CG-Lock and SeatSnug seatbelt enhancement devices, announced today that the SeatSnug stability device will be featured by Pediatric Safety on the organization's web site (http://www.pediatricsafety.net/2011/01/seatsnug/). Pediatric Safety, a leading organization in the promotion of safety awareness for children, also announced the organization's support for SeatSnug's SnugUp America Campaign, a national campaign focused on promoting greater public awareness for children safety.

In making the announcement, Stefanie Zucker, Managing Director of Pediatric Safety, stated "The SnugUp America Campaign is a great way to bring awareness to the safety issues facing our children. Just 1 child traveling unsecured or incorrectly secured in a car is too many ? unfortunately, today the number is more like 3 out of 4. Products like the SeatSnug stability device which was designed to ensure children are securely buckled in can make a difference. We are happy to offer SeatSnug and the SnugUp America Campaign our support as a means of getting this important message out." The SnugUp America campaign was launched by SeatSnug late last year to coincide with National Child Passenger Safety Week sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The campaign continues to gain recognition from the parenting and safety communities and is also being supported by Alison Rhodes, the nationally recognized "Safety Mom".

Motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of death for children of every age from 2 to 14 years old. Over 2,000 children are killed in auto accidents every year and hundreds of thousands injured, with head injuries the most common and abdominal injuries the second most common for seat belted children. ?Many of these injuries and fatalities can be prevented by a properly positioned and secured seat belt? states Ms. Rhodes who sites this as the motivation behind her joining the SeatSnug, Snug Up America campaign.

The patented SeatSnug, born of the CG-Lock technology, is a small palm sized seatbelt enhancement device that easily clips on an existing seatbelt to enhance the safety, stability and comfort of children riding in booster seats. It allows you to gently tighten the lap belt over a child?s upper thighs and hips by simply pulling up on the shoulder belt without affecting normal operation of the shoulder belt. Once the lap belt is tightened to more safely secure the child to the seat, SeatSnug prevents slack from developing in the lap belt to increase child safety and reduce the risk of injury in an accident.

In response to the announced support of Pediatric Safety, Chuck Carter, CEO of LBC, states ?We are grateful to the Pediatric Safety organization for their support. We both agree, children are our most precious resource. As parents and concerned adults, it is our responsibility to keep children safe as they grow from babies into young women and men. Children are met with numerous hazards as they grow up in a world built for adults. This is especially true today for children riding in motor vehicles, where ?one-size-fits all? seats and seat belts are designed to fit adults and are not designed to fit children and their fragile bodies. Our Snug Up America Campaign emphasizes the importance of properly securing children with seat belts while riding in vehicles to make certain the shoulder belt and the lap belt are properly positioned to enhance their safety in the event of an accident.?

Originally developed as an aftermarket product for the performance driving market CG-Lock has gained worldwide attention by securing international stunt drivers during the filming of such movies as National Treasure starring Nicholas Cage, James Bond's Quantum of Solace starring Daniel Craig and as the "secret safety device" used by the STIG in the popular #1 BBC show Top Gear. The CG-Lock improves overall seatbelt performance to enhance driver control and to enhance the safety and comfort of the user.

Infant Lap Seat ?Babee Laptime? Recently featured on The Rebecca Michi Radio Show in October 2011

Belmar, NJ (PRWEB) October 20, 2011

The Rebecca Michi Radio Show recently interviewed Anthony Garofalo, owner and creator of the world?s first infant lap seat called Babee Laptime. During this interview, Anthony starts with a short explanation of how he came up with the idea of inventing Babee Laptime, an in-home newborn carrier and he goes on to explain the growth of the product along with how it has been received favorably by consumers all over.

Rebecca Michi is a Parenting Consultant and Children?s Sleep Specialist who is based in Seattle. She has spent most of her professional life working in different childcare settings. Upon moving back from Brazil with her family, she started her Parenting Consulting business, and in 2010 her radio show had become a reality. Since then, Rebecca had the pleasure of meeting Anthony at the ABC Kids Expo, and upon viewing the product Rebecca was convinced that it was a must-have product and was great product for a baby shower gift. Thus, she decided to promote Babee Laptime on her show.

During the radio interview, Garofalo starts by stating that the first time he found the need of an infant lap seat was when his first two kids were born. At the time there was no product on the market like Babee Laptime, and his idea was shelved as his first two kids grew to young college-aged adults. It wasn?t until the birth of his two younger kids that Anthony put his idea into motion. Today, it is a reality.

The challenge for Garofalo was creating a lap seat that would allow parents, siblings, and relatives to comfortably hold their baby for long periods of time. To accomplish this, Babee Laptime was uniquely designed with a special type of foam that was produced by an environmentally sensitive manufacturer. There is a five-point harness system along with a clip on strap that allows the user to safely, securely, comfortably, and effortlessly hold the child. This system reduces the weight on the individual holding the lap seat while also providing for hands-free use. Furthermore, the lap seat is great for resting infants after feeding. It is constantly emphasized that the proper feeding angle for babies is between 30-45 degrees. Babee Laptime positions your baby at this angle to promote proper digestion after feeding.

Rebecca Michi will be giving away one free Babee Laptime to a lucky winner at the end of October. To become a listener of the radio show, please visit her website at therebeccashow.com. Babee Laptime is recommended for infants weighing as much as 21 pounds and up to 30 inches in length. The fabric is also removable and machine washable, making for your baby seat to feel soft like new every time.
