Artifact Overview
Child passenger safety begins when children are born and continues as they grow. Britax manufactured this seat for a child weighing up to 65 pounds. A child's weight and height influenced the location and installation of the seat within the vehicle. The instruction booklet, stored under the seat cover, provided quick access to proper set up requirements.

The first state laws requiring child safety seats -- passed in 1978 -- not only protected young passengers, they also stimulated the market for the seats themselves. Automakers, baby products companies and toy manufacturers all got into the safety seat business at various times. This 1988 advertisement promotes the comfort and convenience of a seat produced by toymaker Fisher-Price.
