A few weeks ago Ben Rudnick of the Ben Rudnick & Friends band stopped into the store. Ben said, ‘do you want to hear my holiday cd? it would be great for the store.” Sure, I’ll listen to almost anything! Not knowing anything about Ben and his band, I popped the CD in started singing along.

Both the Britax and Sunshine Kids brands of car seats that we carry are compatible with the LATCH system. But what does LATCH stand for? Lower Anchor and Tethers for CHildren. LATCH has been available in most passenger vehicles since model year 2003 and tether anchors have been available since model year 2000. According to the NHTSA website, “Nearly every car seat and most vehicles manufactured since September 1, 2002, are required to have the LATCH system. LATCH makes it easier to get the child seat in right – the first time and every time.”

Yesterday we received our long-awaited Sunshine Kids Sante Fe booster seat! It’s nice to add a backless booster seat to our line up.
The Sante Fe booster is really just the bottom portion of the Sunshine Kids Monteray Booster, which has a back. This is a low profile, belt-positioning booster seat that is a great option for families that would like a more portable seat.
One of the great feature of the Sante Fe is that you can install it using the LATCH system. To install via LATCH there is a front adjuster belt that allows you to loosen or tighten the LATCH connectors to your vehicle’s Lower Anchor Attachment points. These LATCH connectors are great because it ensures that the seat seat doesn’t become a projectile when you’re driving without your child in the car. If you don’t have LATCH in your car, that’s ok! You can still use the Sante Fe. You will simply position the Sante Fe where you want it and buckle your child in. The LATCH connectors can be tucked away inside the Sante Fe.
Note: Your vehicle may state a set weight limit for its LATCH anchors (40 or 48 lbs). This weight limit does not apply to booster seats with LATCH as the Lower Anchors on a booster seat are only intended to secure the weight of the booster seat itself. The vehicle’s lap and shoulder belts secure the weight of the child; because of this, you can use LATCH with the Santa Fe up to 120 lbs.
- Fits children 30 lbs to 120 lbs
- Provides easy and secure LATCH attachment to vehicle even when not occupied (LATCH use is optional)
- Energy absorbing AirTek™ foam provides superior cushioning and increased airflow for comfortable ride
- Longer seat bottom provides proper leg support with cushioned comfort
- Prevents submarining with angled and reinforced seat bottom
- Tapered seat shape properly fits a growing child at every stage
- Retractable cup holders are extra deep to keep drinks upright
- Bottom rubber pads grip better and help protect vehicle upholstery
9.75″ H x 19.5″ W x 16″ D

In addition to our totally awesome selection of strollers and car seats, we also have a nice little collection of child carriers! These carriers differ from slings or other infant carriers, in that they’re meant to be worn on your back only, they have a frame, and they’re best suited for babies that are old enough to sit up (or about 6 months). We carry two brands: Kokopax and Deuter. To follow is a quick run-down of what we have, their features, and our thoughts:
