Here's a chance to win one (or two!) of two new convertible infant car seats from Safety 1st.

J. Leigh Designz is giving away a Safety 1st Complete Air Convertible Car Seat, and Two of a Kind, Working on a Full House is also giving away a Safety 1st Complete Air Convertible Car Seat!

The new Safety 1st Complete Air Car Seat with Air Protect technology is designed to help protect your kids in the event of a side-impact collision. The side-impact wings function like air bags to help shield young kids from the deadliest crashes.

My favorite feature, though, has to be that the rear-facing weight limit is an astonishing (by US standards) 40 pounds. It is so important to keep your kids rear facing as long as possible! This means until a child outgrows the rear-facing limits of the particular seat by either height or weight. Having a seat go up to 40 pounds means that you should get at least THREE OR MORE years of rear-facing use out of this. Even with my chunky monkey, he would still be comfortably rear facing in this seat at age 2.5 right now.

A few links on the superior safety of extended rear facing:

• Stay Rear Facing from CP Safety
• AAP's Child Safety Guide

And a video to demonstrate the physical impact of forward-facing vs. rear-facing:



All right, so enter, win, and keep your baby safe!
