Safety from A to Z

Fans of the Greek language will recognize Alpha as the first letter of the Greek ALPHAbet (imagine that!), while Omega is the last. If you guessed that Beta is the second letter, give yourself a cookie! But we digress as you munch. The point Safety 1st is making is that the Alpha Omega Elite convertible car seat will cover your child’s safety requirements from infancy until they transition out of car seats altogether.

Alpha Omega Elite Convertible Car Seat

The Alpha Omega Elite installs with a simple snap of the LATCH connector. The arms pivot out of the way to make it easy to load your child from the side. Your infant will ride easy on the padded head rest insert. When the terrible two’s hit, your toddler will appreciate the harness pad and pillow. The Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite features attractive microfiber fabric that is stain resistant. It can be wiped with a damp cloth or removed for hand washing. The color scheme is a neutral gray with plush black accents. It’s not too grown up for an infant, and your young boy or girl won’t complain of it being babyish, either. Looks like they’ve got it covered A to Z!

Alpha Omega Elite Size and Weight Recommendations

Rear facing capacity is 5 lbs to 35 lbs. Forward facing riders are safe from 22 to 50 lbs, while the belt-positioning booster seat will handle your big guy or gal from 40 to 100 lbs. Their security is the goal every step of the way, and solid materials and design make it possible. The sturdy, durable shell shields your child and diverts impact energy, while the EPP foam lining absorbs it. Good side impact protection is provided, too, and the safety harness adjusts for a secure and comfortable fit.

From Infancy to 100 Pounds, Kleenex Not Included.

The new trend in child safety seats is a very helpful one. In the last decade or so, safety experts have recommended keeping your little ones in some type of car seat until they are much heavier, generally from 80 to 100 lbs. When these recommendations were first made, manufacturers scrambled to make seats to fit larger kids, while parents needed to make another purchase, and sometimes ended up with three separate seats covering the charts from infancy to youth.

Safety 1st All in One Convertible Car Seat

Now, companies like Safety 1st are offering products such as the All-in-One Convertible car seat that accommodates them from the first trip out as a newborn to their last ride in a car seat at 100 lbs. But you will have to furnish your own tissues for the tears that may accompany that ride, Mom! Here are the exact recommendations for this unit: Little ones 5 to 35 lbs face the rear; at 22 lbs you may turn them to forward facing until 50 lbs; and converting the All-in-One to a belt positioning booster allows them to ride high from 40 to 100 lbs.

That convenience is only worth it if the seat is safe, and the All-in-One from Safety 1st delivers. Good rear and side impact protection is built in with the reinforced frame that resists transferring the impact to your child, aided by energy absorbing foam. The patented QuickFit harness easily adjusts to optimum tension, snug but not tight. All in all, the All-in-One meets or exceeds all Federal safety standards, so the convenience you enjoy is backed by full confidence in your child’s safety. Tasteful color schemes will look great through the years, too: VSS is gray and maroon, STL is light gray/dark gray and maroon, and SCT is beige and chocolate brown.
