Since the beginning of humanity, parents have been raising babies and having to cope with smelly wet messes. How parents have dealt with these types of messes has changed over the years, especially among different cultures.

The first recorded report of a child restraint in an automobile was in 1898. The device was little more than a drawstring bag that would attach to the actual car seat. It was only designed to prevent little children from falling off their seats when the car was in motion. Much has changed since then. Today all cars are legally required to provide car seat restraint systems.

To correctly install a car seat, a parent should be aware of both the location of the airbags, and if their car is equipped with a Latch buckling system. It only takes a few minutes to ensure your child is safely buckled up.

How do you entertain your children during long road trips? A few popular ideas include: car seat trays, dvd players, books, music, and snacks.
