Go Read It Today, Tuesday, July 10, 2007

Recall (CORRECTED): Britax Regent car seats manufactured between 11/10/2005 and 6/18/07 have an important change to their installation instructions. This means these incredibly expensive seats will no longer work in some cars. If Britax is truly not offering any recourse to those affected, this is pretty amazing behavior from a company I used to respect.

Mamanista is having a great contest to benefit research and treatment of congenital heart defects. Go check it out.

Pelf is participating in a Blogathon in support of the Eden Handicap Service Centre in Malaysia — if you’re interested in sponsoring her efforts at 24-hour blogging, go stop by before July 28th.

Unbelievable neighbor.

    I just threw up a rant abt the Regent after realizing this morning that mine is no longer compatible with my car.

    Just FYI, the Regent was modified 6/18/07 and forward–so those seats are ok, and match the instructions with the Britax booklet. It is the Regent seats with a date of manufacture between 11/10/2005 and 6/18/07 that are effected.

    Karrie: I fixed my note about the recall — thanks for the clarification.

    (And why I didn’t fix the typo I just saw is beyond me!)

    I would be shocked if Britax does not address this and very sad. They are usually very on the ball with safety.

    Thank you for mentioning our contest–this is obviously a cause near and dear to my heart in a very literal way!

    She’s only not quite one and she’s already taught me so much. I can only hope that one day far fewer babies will need open heart surgery and that those who do can receive it, throughout the world!
