Graco Car Seat Recall

Graco Recalls Nearly 3.8 Million Child Car Seats

The My Ride 70 was one of the models recalled by Graco.

Graco

Graco is recalling nearly 3.8 million car seats because buckles may be hard to release, posing a danger in the case of an accident.

The AP reports that despite the massive recall, which involves 11 models sold from 2009 through 2013, The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration is unhappy with the company.

The NHTSA wants Graco to recall another 1.8 million rear-facing infant car seats because the regulators say they suffer from the same problem. Graco meanwhile argues the buckles stop working properly when debris and liquids are dropped into them. In a scathing letter to the company (pdf), the NHTSA said it is "completely foreseeable that children will eat or drink while seated in their car seat." Debris and liquids, the NHTSA argues, "should not inhibit or prevent the buckle from its intended function as a 'quick release device.'"

USA Today talked to Graco, which said that the infant car seats can be taken out of a car with the child still strapped in — that is the car seat can be detached from a base that's strapped to the car seat. The paper adds:

"Graco said it is offering an improved replacement harness buckle to affected consumers at no cost.

"'Graco would like to stress this does not in any way affect the performance of the car seat or the effectiveness of the buckle to restrain the child,' the company said in the statement."

The recalled models, USA Today reports, include: "Cozy Cline; ComfortSport; Classic Ride 50; My Ride 65; My Ride with Safety Surround; My Ride 70; Size4Me 70; Smart Seat; Nautilus; Nautilus Elite; and Argos 70.

Baby's First Thanksgiving!

A simple guide for your little one at the Thanksgiving Table

Preparing Thanksgiving dinner for your family is no simple chore, so you'd rather not add "make dinner for baby" to your already long to-do list. Give thanks: If your child's closing in on his first birthday and transitioning to table foods, you can serve him at least some of the typical Thanksgiving menu, says registered dietitian Cathie Squatrito, director of medical affairs for Gerber. Just be sure all the foods you do offer your baby are diced very small (about 1/4 inch in size) and cooked to the point of being well-done (soft enough to gum).

Good for gobbling: turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, string beans, peas, carrots, cranberry sauce, bread or rolls, pumpkin pie, apple pie

Pass on these: corn and succotash, rich-tasting casseroles (such as string-bean or broccoli-cheese), creamed onions, stuffing (which can contain onions, rich seasoning, choking hazards, or seafood), raw veggies from a crudités or relish tray, desserts with nuts or peanut butter

Gender Reveal Party Rocks!

I am going to change the name of my band. I am going to call it Gender Reveal Party.  Not because I love the name, but because these parties are all the rage.  The most hits I have received on my blog was the day I decided to right about this trend, so I figure that I can get more people to come to my shows if I change my bands name and then tag/#/metatag/link/blog/FB/Pinterest the hell out it.  However, if you landed here looking for cute cake, cookie and colorful balloon gender reveal party ideas...well here you go...  Hope to see you at one of my shows. Sincerely, Gender Reveal Party.
