Car seat safety is really important.
From how you install it to the quality of the seat, there are so many things to consider.
Britax is known for its dedication to creating well-made baby gear and the Marathon 70 convertible car seat ($280) is no exception.
Through the use of their patent-pending SafeCell Technology, the seat’s integrated steel bars and energy-absorbing padding work together to reduce the risk of head injury during a frontal impact.

Marissa Jaret Winokur may be best known for her bubbly, energetic personality, but she admits that the first year of motherhood nearly wore her down.
“It really roughed me up,” Winokur, who’s mom to Zev Isaac, 2, and will be co-hosting CBS’s fall chatfest The Talk, tells PEOPLE Moms & Babies.
“You get sleep-deprived because you’re up all night. People don’t tell you this! I still haven’t had a good night’s sleep since my son has been born – still to this day. I’m sleeping in a racecar bed with my son right now – he’s in a big boy bed but he cries for me in the middle of the night.”

Talk about mommy and me style!
Megan Fox has been borrowing clothes from the unlikeliest of places — stepson Kassius‘ closet!
We’ve spotted the actress, 24, wearing the 8-year-old’s fanboy-style graphic tees on not one, but two occasions.
On July 27, she wore his green Voltron Defender of the Universe T-shirt ($24) during a lunch date with husband Brian Austin Green in Sherman Oaks, Calif. And in July 2008, she rocked the same Star Wars-inspired shirt (below) — complete with Darth Vader — to the Fox All-Star party in Santa Monica.
But while they’re roomy and kid-appropriate on Kassius, they look like crop tops on Fox.
Tell us: What do you think of her hand-me-down style?

As they build their budding developmental skills, all babies benefit from playtime with age-appropriate books, toys and games.
For parents of children with special needs, however, playtime often carries a different significance — it can be a place where breakthroughs are made or frustrations boil over.
Holly Robinson Peete knows this better than most. Mom to RJ, now 12 and diagnosed at age 3 with autism, the Celebrity Apprentice star fronts the 2010 Toys ‘R’ Us Toy Guide for Differently-Abled Kids.
She tells PEOPLE Moms & Babies she hopes parents will view the guide — now in its 16th year — as a resource, resulting in more informed, more constructive gift-giving for children with developmental disabilities.
“While raising RJ, I saw the importance of selecting the right toy,” Peete explains. “Being able to show everyone buying a gift for RJ which toys he could use to build the skills he was working on was very helpful.”
