It Isn't All About Knitting!

In addition to having 40+ years of knitting experience, I have also become a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician, learning a great deal about child passenger safety, crash dynamics, and many other child transportation issues. After I became certified I had an opportunity to enroll in the supplemental Special Needs Transportation training, which I also found extremely valuable. My (grown) kids will tell you that when the topic of car seats arises for whatever reason I can and do tell anyone more than they ever wanted to know about car seats. When I'm not knitting, as likely as not I'm doing something car seat related (and when I AM knitting, I may very well be knitting in front of the computer reading car seat safety forums).

When my grandson, the light of my life, was born, I helped his parents to make sure that he was the safest he could possibly be riding in all of our various vehicles. I coerced strongly encouraged them to keep him rear-facing to the limits of his convertible seat, since rear-facing is so much safer. When he outgrew the convertible seats, I bought him higher weight harnessing seats for each of their vehicles because he was much too young to move into a booster seat at that time.

More recently, I was blessed to win a deluxe higher-weight harnessed seat in a Facebook drawing, and I agreed to submit a review of the seat. This week that review was published in Carseat Blog.

Now the review has generated more questions, and it looks like I'll be submitting another Carseat Blog post soon.

Meanwhile, the knitting continues, even if I'm not keeping up with the postings.............
