And I'm not asking how many air bags it has.

Cars and car seats are made with toxic chemicals, including bromine, lead, chlorine, and many others. A new website has tested hundreds of cars and car seats to determine the levels of each chemical present in the cloth, plastic, and metal components. I was afraid to look, but the car seat we bought Ari is listed as a 1.8 - "low risk" on their scale! Yay!

You can go to healthycar.com to see where your car and car seats rank! The chemicals in car seats are especially a problem because chemicals leach over time when exposed to high heat - and you know how hot the inside of a car can get in Texas! So we want to make sure that there are no toxins that our children might be breathing in after years of riding in these seats. :)
