SafeGuard Go® Named Hot Product in iParenting Awards
SafeGuard Continues Track Record of
Award-Winning, Safe and Easy-to-Use Child Seats
WESTFIELD, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 31, 2006--SafeGuard, a division of IMMI, announced that the newly launched SafeGuard Go has earned the "Best of the Best -- Hot" product distinction in the prestigious iParenting Awards. The seat was recognized for its revolutionary design and ease-of-use.
The first ever hybrid car seat, the SafeGuard Go, combines the convenience and portability of a backless booster with the safety and security of a five-point harness seat. It is lightweight (under ten pounds) and folds neatly away into a compact travel bag for easy transport and storage. In addition to the seat's safety and transport advantages, the SafeGuard Go can be installed properly in less than one minute. The SafeGuard Go takes the headache out of long-distance travel since it is small enough to carry on an airplane and saves the cost and hassle of renting child car seats.
SafeGuard: The Standard for Safety and Ease-of-Use
The travel-friendly SafeGuard Go is designed for front-facing use only and requires the use of the vehicle's top tether attachment in the five-point harness mode. The five-point harness can be used with children 30-60 pounds and 34-52 inches. When the child has outgrown the five-point harness, the SafeGuard Go converts to the first ever LATCH-equipped backless booster for children 40-100 pounds and 43-57 inches.
"With each new product, our goal is to provide the most advanced protection for your child," said Steve Wallen, president and general manager of SafeGuard. "Obviously we are succeeding, as both of our car seats -- the SafeGuard Child Seat and the SafeGuard Go -- have now been recognized by iParenting for their safety features, innovative design and ease of use."
