Birthday Giveaway: Safety 1st

safety-1st-airprotect.jpgSometimes when I buckle Laurel into her booster seat I stand amazed that my six siblings and I made it out of childhood (i.e., the pre-car seat regulation era) unscathed. And the technology and styling continues to evolve in cool ways, such as with Safety 1st’s new Air Protect car seat. These stylish seats offer conveniences such as easy harness adjustment, a one-click LATCH system, and an adjustable headrest, in addition to innovative side impact technology that shields the head and reduces side impact forces in the event of an accident. For our 3rd birthday party Safety 1st is offering one lucky winner their Air Protect car seat ($250 value). Simply check out the rules below and leave a comment on this giveaway to enter to win (by midnight EST, Friday, August 28).

    I would love to win this for my sister who is expecting her first baby in a couple of months! Thank you for the chance!

    wow--this would be great to win! spending money on car seats is no fun....

    I have a church friend who could use this!

    My daughter would love a new carseat she is not happy about using her brothers old one.

    Safety First produces really great products for consumers.Orange is a great color!
    Thanks for the opportunity!

    Would love to give this to my friend who has a baby but cannot afford this seat. Thank you!

    big fan of safety 1st products.

    With a new baby on the way this would be perfect

    This would be awesome for my friend who's having a baby in Oct!

    We're expecting our 1st grandchild in January & this would be the best gift I could imagine!!

    A new carseat would be great! We don't have one for our second car, so we're always limited to one car if my 1-year-old is involved in the trip.

    Wow, this looks awesome. My second will need a convertible soon, and my first won't be out of his yet, so this would be great for us!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    WOW! Happy 3rd birthday. Thanks for the chance to win this. My son is just about ready for his next seat.

    My niece is going to need a car seat as she is preg with her first baby!

    I am 20 weeks pregnant with my second baby in 2 years...this would be amazing!

    Would love this for Caroline!

    I would love to win this for my daughter. Our second is coming in about 1 month and when we just flipped around my daughter's EB car seat from rear-facing to forward facing, we noticed that the strap to tighten the shoulder-straps was all frayed on one-side. Contacted manufacturer and are awaiting labels to send the seat back for them to look at. We have two of these same seats and so now I am really nervous. I would love one of these new safer seats to use instead, especially because my daughter is on the smaller side.

    Thanks!

    Now with baby #3, my carseats are looking a bit ragged. I sure could use this beauty!!

    We could use a new car seat. This looks very safe.

    These look likfe wonderful car seats, we would love one for my son, thanks!

    Safety is so important and my present seat is expiring so I need one ASAP!

    would LOVE this new safest seat for my daughter! :)

    i hear you about the kids of the past wandering around the car, i did the same. im still here. but safety is key these days. we were in a crash not too long ago and there were sooooooo many airbags popping out of every part of my car i didnt even know existed. my children were safe because of it. airbags in a carseat is wonderful. thanx

    i like how its a rear and forward facing carseat. this is a great giveaway

    I would love to win this for my grandson. It looks like safest seat on the market.

    Wow - this looks like a lovely car seat. Thanks so much, Maureen (jnomaxx at hotmail dot com)

    This would be so great to have for my youngest son. His current car seat seems as though it has no head protection whatsoever. In fact, when he falls asleep there is hardly anywhere on the sides for his head to rest on, so his head just flops forward and it's painful for me to see his head like that! This seat would surely solve that problem and keep him much safer!

    I would love to win this - we'll be new parents soon and would love to have something so wonderful to start off with!

    Wow! I sure could use one of these... 1/2 ain't bad -- I have twins!

    My 2nd granddaughter was just born on 8/13. This would be perfect for her!

    I would love to win this for my granddaughter who will be here in November.

    thanks for the giveaway.

    I would love to win this seat!

    I'm expecting and my twins will be under 2 when I'm due to deliver and will still need their car seats. Side impact protection is very important to me and I would love to win the car seat.

    We had a diaper malfunction in the car and are hunting for a great replacement car seat. We would just be thrilled to win this as it looks like a fantastic product!

    This would make a great gift to my cousin who is due in october. Great giveaway

    i have a 3 month old baby and she is outgrowing the current carsear we have because i am using the same carseat my now 4 year old daughter used.

    This Air Protect car seat from Safety 1st is exceptional! You cannot predict when an accident could happen when driving with a baby and it would give me such great peace of mind to know that our baby daughter is sitting in the safest most comfortable car seat when we are out and about in our car. We need a new car seat so much so I appreciate the chance to learn about this one and the chance to enter your giveaway!

    These are great, safe products and with #3 on the way I really need another carseat.

    This would be great for the son we're expecting next month.

    this car seat is better than any of the car seats we have ever owned, so much safer!

    Our first child is due to show up this Thanksgiving. Won't that be a fun weekend... I'd love to have one less thing to buy before then. Thanks for the great giveaway, this looks like its both convenient and safe! A rarity these days.

    I would love to win this for a very dear friend who is going to be a grandma soon for the very first time :)

    My goddaughter needs a new car seat in a bad way and this one is the ultimate! Thanks!

    We need a new carseat for the new baby! This one looks legit. :)
    GirlyRemix(at)gmail(dot)com

    This would be wonderful for our son. We could never afford to buy him a carseat of this quality.

    Awesome car seat! Could sure use this! Thanks for the chance! :)

    This car seat looks so nice. Please enter me.

    wow! this would be great to win!

    We are trying to get pregnant and this would be great to get and have for when we have our first child.

    What a fantastic giveaway! Thank you and thanks to Safety 1st. This looks like an excellent product and what is more important to look for quality in, than what keeps your child safe.

    My fingers are crossed....well, figuratively, I can't type with my fingers crossed....just sayin'
