SafeGuard Child Seat $430

The SafeGuard Child Seat is a forward facing seat only that can be used for toddlers from 22-65 pounds and 57” tall. One of its claim to fames is that it’s built of airplane aluminum which I’m sure you can imagine is stronger than the traditional plastic frame.

They’ve built in a retractable Posi-LATCH system that is designed to make installation easier. Also included is SmartCore Foam, which is their version of EPS energy absorbing foam, to protect the child in case of a collision and memory foam which will make the seat more comfy for long rides. In addition the SafeGuard Child Seat has a retractable harness, like the ones we use in our car seat belts.

It seems that most of the parents who are using this seat give it great reviews. The only negative feed back seems to be the about the harness strap system. Although some parents rave about it, some are having problems working with it. So make sure you’ve tried it and like it before you have to deal with it on a daily basis.

The NHTSA has given it an A and although it has not yet been crash tested by Consumer Reports, they have their own in house testing facility to make sure that the seat will meet the same criteria as their competitors.

Parents who have this seat say they feel it’s the most secure seat on the market. This seat makes the Britax Roundabout seat look like a good value, so for $430 it better be.
