Beneath the Bridge
My name is Jamie Wallace. I was a career firefighter/EMT for 13 years and a captain/EMT for 7 years.
I have also been a certified car seat technician for 17 years. While checking car seats, I would constantly tell parents not to put their children in the car seat while wearing a heavy winter coat because it isn’t safe.
Certified car seat technicians and medical professionals believe it is extremely dangerous for children to wear heavy winter coats while riding in a car seat with a five-point harness. Safe Kids Worldwide advises that “a bulky coat can compress in a crash and create a loose car seat harness, putting your child at greater risk of injury in the unlikely event of a crash”.
The safest procedure was to remove my children’s winter coats in the cold, secure them in a cold car seat and then cover them back up. This was very uncomfortable for the kids and very inconvenient for me.
The Jariboog is the solution! It is a 3 in 1 coat. The jacket can be worn in a car seat. The vest can be worn separately. The jacket and vest can be worn together to create a warm winter coat. This combination has so many great features!
THE VEST AND THE JACKET/VEST COMBINATION ARE NOT TO BE WORN IN THE CAR SEAT
