Free Boulevard 70 convertible car seat from our friends at Britax!

Earn a free BOULEVARD 70 convertible car seat with purchase or receipt of five** approved BRITAX or BOB items!

Starting April 2, parents can receive a free car seat when they buy one designated BRITAX or BOB item from each of five baby gear categories on the BRITAX New Parent Checklist.  Proof of purchase is required. Categories include: strollers, car seats, baby carriers, large accessories and small accessories.  The full checklist is available online and in the BRITAX Registry Rewards brochure at participating retailers.

“New parents have many decisions to make,” said Jackie Gyoerkoe, Vice President of Marketing.  “By using our New Parent Checklist, caregivers can easily register for, or purchase a variety of, our products that keep their children safe.  The reward is a premium convertible car seat that grows with their baby all the way to 70 pounds.”

Since four Twiniversity Approved items are on the checklist, parents of multiples can rest assured that they are making the best purchases for their kiddos.

To participate, consumers must mail in the 5 UPC barcodes, found on each new product purchase, and a completed redemption form.  The redemption form can be found in-store or online at http://www.britaxusa.com/registryrewards.

The BRITAX BOULEVARD® 70 achieves revolutionary head safety through the use of BRITAX SafeCell Technology™, integrated steel bars and energy-absorbing Versa-Tether®.  These safety features work together to minimize the forward movement of a child’s head during a crash. It also features BRITAX proprietary HUGS™ and True Side Impact Protection®. The BOULEVARD 70 offers a five-point, no-rethread harness, a quick-adjust head restraint and harness and multiple buckle and recline adjustments. The BOULEVARD 70 accommodates children between 5 and 40 pounds rear facing, and up to 70 pounds forward facing.

The BOULEVARD 70 is available in a variety of fashions with a suggested retail price of $319.99. To learn more about the program and set up a participant profile, parents should visit BRITAXRegistryRewards.com. For more information about BRITAX, visit www.britaxusa.com, or find BRITAX on Twitter, Facebook or YouTube.

**There is only ONE redemption for the Boulevard seat PER HOUSEHOLD allowed, meaning that for families of multiples, if you want to receive two/three car seats, you’ll need to have your parents/in-laws/friends submit the proper forms and have it/them shipped to their address.

Twiniversity acknowledges Child Passenger Safety Week with a special series of iTwinsDay’s sponsored by Britax

Did you know that 73 percent of all child restraints are not used properly? Did you know that car crashes are the number one killer of children in the United States?

Well you do now! This week is Child Passenger Safety Week, and from now through Friday, Twiniversity has teamed up with Britax bringing you information that will ensure your twinnies are the safest passengers around.

The CDC’s #1 piece of advice is, “Know The Stages.” (see below)

• UNTIL AGE 1/20 LBS – For the best possible protection keep infants in the back seat, in rear-facing child safety seats, as long as possible up to the height or weight limit of their particular seat. At a minimum, keep infants rear-facing until at least age 1 year and at least 20 pounds.
