I can't believe we've actually reached the end of the Baby Bounty Bash...boy, has it been a blast! Think I'm going to miss seeing the button around after this but on the happier note, it also means that Bunny Boo will soon be here. (My Braxton Hicks continue to remind me that his arrival will be soon!) So to end with a bang, Learning Curve's brand The First Years has generously offered to sponsor our last giveaway with a product every parent wants to own....
The First Years True Fit Rebound Convertible Car Seat (model C670)

This prestigious NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) 5 star rated car seat is the only seat you will need for your child from the time you take him/her out of the hospital, right after birth, till he/she outgrows the need to be in a car seat.

That's right, you can use the True Fit Rebound Convertible Car Seat (model C670) as soon as the young rider is 5 lbs and till he/she hits 65 lbs.
(In the rear facing position from 5-22 lbs and in the forward facing position from 22-65 lbs)


I love that this car seat is very well cushioned.
The seat is completely lined with energy absorbing EPS foam.( The seat cover is also easy to remove when you need to 'sanitize' the same with a good clean up after spills and crumbs)


and has a 5 point harness system which I feel, is any day, a safer and more secure option than using car seat belts in boosters for older children.

The crotch buckle is also adjustable (5 point adjust) allowing the child to sit comfortably as he/she grows.

The True Fit Rebound Convertible Car Seat (model C670) is the only convertible car seat that provides a 'Rebound Energy Management System' via the flip up 'Rebound Bar'.


The 'Rebound Energy Management System' provides additional protection to minimize harsh impact to the young ride in the unlikely event of a violent crash.

It also comes with a rear facing 'Angle Indicator' that helps you determine whether or not the seat has been inclined appropriate to your little one's age. The recommended angle for a newborn is 45 degrees (minus the head-rest) and 35 degrees (with the head-rest)- with the car seat placed in the rear facing position.


The side impact wings are much larger than most car seats I have seen, thereby only enhancing protection measures.


The padded, wide head rest, for use in the rear as well as forward facing position, is removable and also has long side wings for protection.
If Bunny girl was using the seat right now the only issue I'd have would be if she'd fall asleep on a long ride as the wideness of the head rest would cause her head to flop from one side to the other like a little rag dolly.

The True Fit Rebound Convertible Car Seat (model C670) is an awesome car seat and I wish they'd had it out in the market when we had to buy Bunny girl's first seat. Packed with features, enhanced security and lots more comfort than most car seats, I'm sure getting Bunny Boo to stay put in his car seat should not be a struggle.


I have to state that the information provided in The First Years manual is very comprehensive, educative and clearly explained in a simplified manner, stage-wise.

Here are 2 important facts, I learnt while reading the same:

• The chest clip should always be placed at arm pit level for higher safety/security of the young rider.
• The harness strap should always be snug and not allow any slack nor should it be too tight.
  

We're yet to install the seat in our car and may get a little help just to make sure everything's in place.
(Hubby's confident he can do it without any problems so we have to see how it goes this weekend).

Once the seat's in, we'll just have to wait till our little member makes his arrival to make any readjustments if necessary!
