Are you shopping for a car seat or will you be in the near future? If so, visit the site for Evenflo Momentum 65 with Side Impact Technology.

Not only does the site give you a great run down on the car seat itself but it offers a The Savvy Parents Guide which is a number of comical videos including:

• How to Avoid Becoming Extreme Safety Parent
• How to Repair Your Husband’s Bruised Ego
• How to Recover from a Potty Mouth Moment

While the above videos were great for a laugh there is also a video slide show which details how to install the Evenflo Momentum 65. What a great idea! I would have loved to watch something like this when we first bought our car seats.

Evenflo conducted a Savvy Parents Survey and the results that came back about the difficulties of installing car seats didn’t surprise me.

60% of moms and 63% of dads confess installing their car seat was challenging, while 5% of moms actually compared the experience with going through labor and nearly half (49%) admit that installing the car seat caused them to sweat more than actually making the baby did! And the challenge doesn’t end when the seat is installed, parents expressed other car seat frustrations: Adjusting car-seat straps got parents in a tangle the most (60%), followed by making sure the straps were tight enough (48%). It’s no surprise, as a third (34%) of parents say their child has wiggled out of their car seat and one-fifth of parents admit this happens at least once a week.

Speaking of car seats, not only are they sometimes difficult to install when you don’t have helpful videos like the one above, but I find they make it tough to keep the backseat clean and organized especially on  a long road trip. Toys get dropped and never picked up, finger food rolls under the seats or in the cracks, and the arm rests always seem to need a good scrubbing.

WIN IT!

In my battle against back seat bedlam, I’ve been given the opportunity to offer one reader of 2 Wired 2 Tired an Evenflo Ultimate Savvy Parent Car Kit which includes:

• $25 Gas Gift Card, a little treat for mom and dad
• Car Dustbuster, for hunting down cheerios between seats
• Kid/Parent Friendly CD, to inspire a family sign along
• Baby Mirror, to check out rear-facing baby while driving
• Soft Book, to secure safety of passengers when thrown during tantrum
• Window Shade, to keep the hot summer sun out
• Animal Crackers and a Snack Trap, to carve cravings
• Moist Wipes, for quick car clean up
• Car organizer, to keep it all arranged neatly!

This giveaway is open to everyone.
