SeatSnug – Review & Giveaway

When Mom Central announced the SeatSnug blog tour I knew immediately I wanted to participate. As you know my son is well past using a car seat or booster seat, but this is a topic that is still important to both me and my husband.

When my son was a baby we researched seats and found the best one we could. Then we were diligent about it being installed properly in our car. My hubby was a fanatic about the safety of everything related to the baby. He put the car seat in and wiggled it all over and did all sorts of yanking and pulling to make sure he had it installed just right. If one of the grandparents were going to watch the baby hubby would make sure he installed the car seat in their car for them as well. What we did find was that not all seatbelts work the same and the car seat that worked well in our car wasn’t as good in other cars. The same was true as our son grew and we moved into booster seats. At the time we just had to do the best we could.

Hubby is an automotive tech and is in customer cars all day long. From the time we had our son so many years ago until this day even one huge pet peeve he has in improperly installed safety seats. He has shown many of his customers about the issue. Even with all the advances in safety, this is one area hubby feels still needs improvement. He was very happy to see the SeatSnug for this reason and hopes he will start seeing them in his customer’s cars soon!

So what SeatSnug does is enhance the safety and comfort for kids riding in booster seats. Take a minute to look around their website and watch the video to see how it works. The seatbelt slack causes a lot of issues and the SeatSnug addresses just that issue. It prevents the child from bouncing , rocking, tipping, sliding, and even falling while in the booster seat during normal operation of your car. If it helps that much during the normal operation, just imagine how much safer your child or grandchild would be in an emergency type situation!

SeatSnug even has a video on how to install the product to help everyone out. I think this will be a big help to anyone! There are, of course, well written instructions in the package also, but I really like the video.

The SeatSnug is meant to stay on the seatbelt you put it on. Because of this, they also have a way to turn it on and off for those times when that seat won’t be used for a booster seat. They have another video to explain the on and off switch also.

Nice write-up about the SeatSnug. I am still waiting for mine to arrive from Mom Central. I added your giveaway to both of my sites.

Although I really don’t need another SeatSnug I would love to be entered for the Amazon gift card :)

Whats not to like it would keep my grandson so much safer.
judybrittle

I love the fact that it easily installs with your existing seat belt and it doesn’t restrict upper body movement for total comfort. This is a wonderful product! Thank you so much for the chance!
moushka

I have hesitated buying my daughter the backless booster seat for that same reason, tippyness. But this product would make it so much better and safer. Thanks for taking the time to share.

The head support for the little one.

I am always a little leery about whether I have my granddaughter in her seat right. This would put me at ease.

I’ve worried about moving to a booster and this sounds like it will make it safer and that is all that matters!
UnrealBaby

Ok, I almost cried watching the demo (emotional! haha) I couldn’t believe how easy this looks to install but how much protection it offers! I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before!

I like that it improves safety and stability. Thanks!

I like that it looks easy to use.

Safety!! I like that it allows the lap belt to be held securely. Some of the booster seats just seem more hazardous than if the child sat on the floor of the car. I am so happy to see a company that has addressed this!

I really think the headd support is the best feature!

i like that it eliminates bouncing, rocking, tipping, falling over, submarining, and ejection.

I like that it keeps the booster seat stable and keeps it from moving around. Thanks for the giveaway!

I like that the seat snug is crash tested, since in a crash situation sometimes the belt will disengage. I like that this will help keep them secure in that instance.

Support of the head I believe is important!

I’m glad you did a post on this. I am a fanatic about this issue as well, and even drove to our fire station to have my car seats checked every time we had a new one. Many people don’t know that, but the fire station personnel are trained in ‘installing’ car seats correctly, and they are always very grateful to help!
Thanks again!

I like the enhanced safety, but it really means something when it increases a child’s stability and comfort. Without that, it would become an issue to argue over with a headstrong toddler. Thanks for the opportunity!

I like that it eliminates the slack in the seatbelt & makes it safer.

My daughter-in-law is having a baby in March so this would be an ideal gift.

Having watched in horror as my own daughter’s booster tipped her over and then snapped her back, I am amazed that this thing isn’t a federal requirement! I am most impressed by the SeatSnug’s CG-Lock.

I have a 4 month old and nothing matters more to me then keeping her safe.

We could totally use this. We have an old car with loose-ish seat belts.

I like that if it doesn’t fit your vehicle for some reason, they will not only refund your purchase price, but your shipping costs also!

When it comes to car seats, you name it and we’ve probably been through it. We have 6 kids (3 2-year olds), which means we own SIX car seats. What I like about the SeatSnug is the peace of mind it would give me in knowing that my kids are both safe and comfy!

I love it that it makes the booster seat alot more safer than just that regular old booster seat and with 2 in booster seats…this would greatly benefit us.

What I like most about SeatSnug is that it allows the lap belt to be lightly tightened around a child’s hips while riding in a vehicle, preventing seatbelt slack or looseness from developing.
