Baby Car Seat Common Mistakes


So brand-new parents Will and Kate are being given some trouble
this week from the media about having newborn baby Prince George
strapped in incorrectly to his child car seat.
 
Let's just consider this a learning experience for all new parents,
that I'm sure everyone can benefit from.
 
Here are some things to look out for in the future...
 
 

1. Keeping a baby wrapped in a blanket does not
secure the newborn safely into his/her car seat harness.
If parents need to use a blanket, it should go over 
the car seat straps, and not under.

2. Make sure those seatbelts are snug on the baby.
The picture of baby George's seatbelt looked a little too roomy.

3. Children should be facing backwards in their child car seat
in the back seat, up until 2 years old. Airbags in the front seats
are too dangerous for babies.

On that note, things have really come a long way since Prince William was born.  Princess Diana carried him into the car in her arms for the drive home back in 1982.
 
Safe driving!

My favorite music video of the week...


The song is "He is With Us" by Love and The Outcome.

The Canadian band is made up of vocalist Jodi King and her husband, bass player Chris Rademaker.

Its not out on CD... yet. Their self titled debut album comes out next month on Aug 27.

The album is Co-Produced by talented American Christian music industry pro's : Seth Mosley (Newsboys), Ben Glover (for KING & COUNTRY), David Garcia (TobyMac) and Jeff Pardo (Matthew West).

Here are some of the lyrics, feel free to sing along...


Remember when your hope is lost and faith is shaken?
Remember when you wonder if you're gonna make it?
There's a hand stretched out through your deepest doubt.
We can't pretend to see the ending,...or what's coming up ahead...
To know the story of tomorrow...
But -- we can stay close to the One who knows!

We can trust our God
He knows what He's doing

Though it might hurt now
We won't be ruined

It might seem there's an ocean in between
But He's holding on to you and me
And He's never gonna leave, no

He is with us, He is with us

Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always

We believe there is purpose, there is meaning in everything

We surrender to His leading

He wants nothing more than to have us close.

Our faith is sealed
Our hope is real
Come what may
We're not afraid

We can trust our God
Always, always
We can trust our God
Always, always.

* Amen to that!!! :)
