SafeGuard Continues Track Record of Safe, Easy-to-Use Child Seats

WESTFIELD, IN – June 13, 2006 – SafeGuard, a division of IMMI, announced that the SafeGuard Child Seat has earned the prestigious Gold NAPPA Award for its outstanding safety features and ease of installation.

The most advanced child seat in the world, the SafeGuard Child Seat has been expertly engineered to reduce misuse, has more safety features than any other child seat, and has undergone the most extensive testing program in the industry.

“SafeGuard is very proud to be a recipient of a Gold NAPPA Award,” said Steve Wallen, General Manager of SafeGuard. “So much research and testing went into the development of the SafeGuard Child Seat; it is rewarding to see the seat being recognized by the media as a product that will help parents breathe easier.”

SafeGuard: The Standard for Safety
The SafeGuard Child Seat features an aircraft aluminum frame, which provides a stronger structure than conventional plastic; SmartCore TM Foam for heat/ cold resistance and better impact protection; a patented Posi-LATCH Ô attachment, for quick and easy installation; a unique five-point harness system which retracts like a standard seat belt; and a one-touch adjustable headrest for a proper fit to the child.

The SafeGuard Child Seat is a forward-facing child seat and is designed for children 22-65 lbs and less than 57 inches. The SafeGuard Child Seat comes with a one year limited warranty and is available today for $449. It can be purchased online at www.safeguardseat.com, by calling 1-800-974-7798, or through specialty retailers nationwide.

In addition to the SafeGuard Child Seat, SafeGuard also offers the travel-friendly SafeGuard Go, the “go anywhere car seat.” The first ever hybrid car seat, the SafeGuard Go blends the safety of a 5-point harness with the portability of a backless booster. 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. The Safeguard Go is available online at www.safeguardseat.com, by calling 1-800-974-7798, or through specialty retailers nationwide.
