Accessory Kit For Child Restraint Car Seats
Kansas farm wife Carla Stricker, of Russell, is doing a booming business making and selling an accessory kit that makes a child restraint car seats safer and much more comfortable for babies to ride in.The kit includes "strap bumpers", a back pad and head pad. Strap bumpers, which Stricker describes as "glorified hot dish pads" slip over the safety strap's that hold the baby in the children's car seat. "The problem," Stricker explains, "is that safety straps are made of a hard, rough material just like the safety belts on your car's seat belts and shoulder harnesses. This rough material can scratch and irritate a baby's sensitive skin."
The 20 by 45-in. back pad and head pad fit on the child's car seat. The back pad covers the entire seat protecting the child from contacting the seat back which can be very hot or very cold. The head pad acts as a pillow for the child's head. Both items, along with the strap bumpers, are washable and available in a variety of colors and fabrics.
A car seat kit, including the head and back pads and three strapbumper sells for $22.50. An 18-in. long strap bumper for use on adult shoulder harnesses and seat belts sells for $4.00.
