Be careful which you buy The local news just ran a "buyer beware" piece based on the results of the latest consumer reports infant seat testing. (see partial text below) Testers: Most Infant Car Seats ’Fail Disastrously’ POSTED: 9:39 am EST January 5, 2007 E-mail this storyE-mail this story | Print this story YONKERS, N.Y. -- Most of the infant car seats tested by Consumer Reports "failed disastrously" in crashes at speeds as low as 35 mph, the magazine reported Thursday. The seats came off their bases or twisted in place, the report said.In one case, a test dummy was hurled 30 feet.
Of the 12 car seats tested, Consumer Reports said it could recommend only two, and it urged a federal recall of the poorest performing seat, the Evenflo Discovery. The magazine tested the type of seat that faces the rear and snaps in and out of a base.It used test dummies weighing 22 or 30 pounds, depending on the seat manufacturers’ claims. In the 35 mph test, seats separated from their bases, rotated too far or would have inflicted grave injuries, Consumer Reports said.
At 38 mph, four seats flew out of their bases, it said. The only seats that passed all the tests were the Baby Trend Flex-Loc and the Graco SnugRide with EPS -- expanded polystyrene foam -- both selling for about $90. Both the Graco Snug Ride and stroller base are available through Amazon.

The Sit-N-Stroll Car Seat and Stroller is considered the best The Bottom LineFor parents who travel a lot and want to pare down their baby travel gear, the Sit-N-Stroll car seat and stroller combination is a great option. Smooth turning wheels, simple set up and a foam-grip handle make the stroller easy to use during travel and the front belt path is easier to use in a rushed travel situation. Since it must be unbuckled from the vehicle each time, the Sit-N-Stroll isn't the best choice for everyday use if you prefer to leave a car seat buckled into your vehicle.
Pros * Eliminates the need to travel with both car seat and stroller. * Performs very well as a stroller - smooth steering, turns well. * Sturdy frame and nice fabric hold up to travel wear and tear.
* Stroller handle and wheels are fairly easy to pop up and down. * Can double as a booster chair for restaurants. Cons * Difficult to install compared to traditional convertible car seats.
* Must be installed after child is in seat due to belt path. * May not fit down all airline aisles. Description * Convertible car seat with stroller wheels and handle built in.
* Can be used rear-facing to 30 pounds and forward-facing 20-40 pounds. * Comes with infant headrest and LATCH connectors. * Performs as car seat, booster feeding seat, airline seat and stroller.
Guide Review - Sit-N-Stroll Car Seat and StrollerSit-N-Stroll is a convertible car seat with wheels and a handle that pop out from the car seat body, instantly transforming the car seat into a stroller. As a stroller, the Sit-N-Stroll performs very well, handling corners smoothly even with one-hand steering, and the wheels and handle are easy to operate. As a car seat, the Sit-N-Stroll is great for travel, but challenging for everyday use.
The harness is simple to tighten and the harness height is easy to change. The seat belt path passes in front of the child both rear- and forward-facing, so the child must be in the seat as it is installed in a vehicle. When the child is already in the seat, it's harder to install the seat tight enough to be safe, so practice installation with the child in the seat before traveling.
The seat is designed to be removed from the car every time, and must be unbuckled from the vehicle to get the child out of the seat. The manufacturer suggests using the vehicle belt rather than the LATCH belt to get the best rear-facing fit. A pool noodle or rolled towel placed in the seat crack will maintain the correct rear-facing angle.
Sit-N-Stroll is a great choice for those who travel with baby a lot or use public transportation and don't leave a car seat in their own vehicle regularly. The installation difficulty could likely be overcome by careful reading of the manual and lots of practice. As with any car seat, the safety of the seat depends on a parent's willingness to install it correctly each time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
