Generally, we’re not into childcare gadgets here. It’s not that kids are cool — my kid is amazing — it’s just that there generally isn’t anything innovative or crunchy about ‘em. Then Britax announces that its next high-end car seat is going to have side-deploying air bags and it throws our world up in a tussle. What else sweet gear have we missed in the toddle world? Anyway, the details on the car seat are slim right now, but apparently, the seat is only 1/2 bigger than the non-air bag model (that’s the one I have for my boy) and the system works well. If more info flouts our way, we’ll let you know. Oh, a video would be great….need to find a video of it in baby-saving action…
