Miss Nevada was here, along with Santa Claus </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the 12th year for the toy drive and, unfortunately, the amount the children in need rises yearly. Last year there were approximately 14,000 requests and already this year they have received over 20,000 requests. That is a lot of needy children in Southern Nevada and those are only the ones that The Burn Foundation know of. If you are looking to give back this year the Toy Drive is a great way to do it! Without your generosity many Southern Nevada children will be without a Christmas present this year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Toy Drive covers three weekends and is staffed by 300 volunteers. Help us make a difference by donating a toy - we are filling up a Silverado with toys! The Burn Foundation is asking for new, unwrapped gifts appropriate for the ages of 0-16 and/or gift cards in $10 increments. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are very lucky to have great people in our Findlay Chevrolet family. I look forward to receiving input from all of them. Today I received this from a very hard working person in our BDC Department and just had to share. Thanks for the kind words, Sabrina.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">In today’s world, going to college
is almost mandatory, naturally so is paying for it. Many college students work
in fast food restaurants or clothing boutiques and make barely enough to cover
that large college debt. I am truly fortunate to not be one of these
struggling college students. Working at Findlay Chevrolet allows me to work
full time and be a full time student. Management is mindful of my changing
school schedule and understands if I need to work a specific time on a specific
day because of a mandatory class. I work with an amazing group of people
who are always looking out for me.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Findlay Chevrolet is one giant family, and everyone treats each other as such.
When you speak to someone, they don’t just hear you, but they actually listen
and respond to what you are saying. Sometimes, on our 15 minute breaks, my
fellow coworkers will help me study for an exam for class after work. Being a
full time student/ employee is definitely not the easiest thing I’ve ever done,
but I couldn’t even fathom doing it if I was working anywhere other than
Findlay Chevrolet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #505050; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">A
third-generation dealer, Findlay graduated from Valley High School in Las Vegas
in 1992 and California's University of San Francisco in 1996, where he earned a
degree in business. His family has been selling cars in Las Vegas since 1961,
and he feels privileged to have been mentored by his father and grandfather.
"I'm extremely proud of the legacy they have built for me and my
family," he said. "And I'm dedicated to continue growing our family
business for future generations."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #505050; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Findlay
opened Findlay Chevrolet as general manager in 2006 and today is operations
director for two dealerships in Henderson and one in Reno, representing brands
Audi, Volkswagen and Lamborghini, which is only part of his family's dealership
holdings. "We pride ourselves on the reputation we've established within
our community," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #505050; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">That
reputation extends well beyond the car business, as Findlay is strongly
committed to bettering local life. He recently served on the advisory boards
for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Henderson and the Smith Center for the Performing
Arts. His work for the Boys & Girls Clubs garnered him a Golden Boy award
from the local chapter in 2010, given to the incoming volunteer who had the
biggest impact on the group. "I'm very proud of my contribution to this
great organization which provides a safe and positive place for young people to
spend time," he said. "Most of the kids are from underprivileged
families and wouldn't have a place to go without the Boys & Girls
Clubs."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #505050; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">In
addition, Findlay's company supports many local activities, including the
University of Las Vegas athletics, Las Vegas 51s minor league baseball, Little
League and Southern Nevada Soccer Association, as well as the Las Vegas Making
Strides Against Breast Cancer walk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The 2014 C7 Corvette Stingray is one of the most technologically advanced high-performance automobiles ever to hit the streets. Five distinct driver modes electronically calibrate up to <a class="btn_lyr" href="http://www.chevrolet.com/cars/2014-corvette-coupe/model-overview/driving.content.html" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: inherit;">12 performance variables</a> to customize your Stingray with the appropriate handling and steer-ability for any road. Modes can be changed on the fly, enabling drivers to tailor the behavior of the car to any situation—an experience that’s part intuitive and part educational. The result? Drivers get maximum performance from a vehicle that can function as a daily driver, a luxury vehicle or a racecar.</div>

<div class="text " id="" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div class="fck_authorsinput tx" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<strong>1. Weather:</strong> Probably the most self-explanatory of all the modes. It adapts the vehicle to road conditions by distributing the appropriate power to the rear wheels, which promotes more confident driving in rain or snow. Tailored Traction Control is at the heart of this mode.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Road:</strong> Good for many road conditions you encounter in inclement weather. Probably would be really helpful on <a href="http://www.cotrip.org/m/rc.xhtml?rd=35" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: inherit;" target="_blank">US 24 in the heart of the Rocky Mountains</a> or on Interstate 75 in Florida’s Everglades (a.k.a. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligator_Alley" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: inherit;" target="_blank">Alligator Alley</a>).</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>2. Eco:</strong> This mode is designed to conserve fuel and provide the best gas mileage. Through Active Fuel Management, it limits your car’s power when traveling at cruising speeds. An Eco index display is available.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Road:</strong> Flat, open roads. For instance, <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Los+Angeles,+CA&daddr=Las+Vegas,+NV&client=safari&gl=us&panel=1&fb=1&dirflg=d&geocode=FYqYBwIdm77z-CkT2ifcXcfCgDH0CEYlb98v4g%3BFdYQJwIdMJoi-SnRffWkgre-gDGjebPV5tXMOg&t=m&z=8" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: inherit;" target="_blank">Interstate 15 from Los Angeles to Las Vegas</a> through the Mojave National Preserve or possibly <a href="http://i10highway.com/i-10-state-maps/interstate-10-texas.html" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: inherit;" target="_blank">Interstate 10 from Houston to San Antonio</a>.</div>

</h3>
<div class="fck_authorsinput tx" style="margin: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<strong>3. Tour:</strong> Ideal for your everyday driving, this mode offers quiet comfort (by relieving the stiffness from shock damping) during the start-stop of your daily commute. Customizable gauge cluster can display audio, navigation and phone data.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Road:</strong> That one you take to and from work.</div>

</h3>
<div class="fck_authorsinput tx" style="margin: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<strong>4. Sport:</strong> As the name of the mode implies, this works best when aggressive responsiveness and power are needed. Available Magnetic Selective Ride Control is stiffened but tempered (like the steering). The dashboard display changes, easily revealing RPMs, and the throttle note becomes more audible (in other words... LOUDER).</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Road:</strong> <a href="http://www.tailofthedragon.com/" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: inherit;" target="_blank">Tail of the Dragon</a>, Deal’s Gap, NC. This road features 318 curves in 11 miles.</div>

</span><div class="fck_authorsinput tx" style="margin: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<strong>5. Track:</strong> Best used in autocross or on lapping days, this mode is exclusively for driving on a track. With legitimate race settings that provide maximum responsiveness (through available Magnetic Ride damping and Performance Traction Management) and throttle progression, it also displays a lap timer on the dashboard.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">

Mello Yello Pro Stock world champion Line earned his second victory of the
season and first in the Countdown by outrunning Shane Gray in the final round.
Line powered his Summit Racing Equipment Chevy Camaro to his second Texas
Motorplex win with a performance of 6.590 at 211.16 to hold off Gray’s Camaro.
With the victory, the 31st of his career, Line claimed the Pro Stock points

To ensure that their customers had a vehicle to drive when their primary car was out of service, Findlay Chevrolet executives decided in November 2011 it was time to get into the rental car business.</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Since then, the fleet of rentals has gone from 20 to 53 and become a popular and successful addition to the dealership at 6800 S. Torrey Pines Blvd.</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
“This was the brainchild of General Manger Jamaal McCoy, Tony Smith and I,” said John Comport, rental fleet manager. “We crawled for a while before the entire idea absolutely erupted in popularity and we discovered that we needed more vehicles.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
The dealership in the southwest valley has an array of vehicles ranging from a Sonic for $30 a day to a Silverado four-wheel drive crew cab pickup for $65 a day. Other options include Volts for $60 a day, an Equinox for $45 and a Camaro for $60 a day.</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
“Our customers come from all over,” said Comport, a native Pennsylvanian, who has worked with Findlay Automotive Group for 3½ years after retiring from a large automotive conglomerate in Pittsburgh.</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
“I really came here to remarry my first wife, who is the love of my life and my best friend,” he said. “A friend of ours in Pittsburgh provides computer work out here and told me to go to Findlay because they’re just like the Baierl family (of auto dealers) back in Pittsburgh.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Comport said the popularity of the service is illustrated by the fact that customers rent the vehicles and do people who have never walked into the dealership before.</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
“I have one man who’s a poker player from Florida and he rents every time he comes to Vegas for a tournament. He plays in the World Series of Poker at the Rio; and I have people from California, Utah, Colorado and other states who learn about us by word of mouth,” he said.</div>

Findlay’s involvement in various athletic events also leads to coaches, players and fans renting cars from the dealership, Comport said.</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
“Nobody in town can beat our rental department. Some days we actually run out of cars, so that just shows how popular this has become. The calls and email requests from customers is unbelievable.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Comport said one couple even rented a Chevy Tahoe for two months.</div>

“They ordered a car from us and it’s on order,” he said. “Until their car arrives, they’re happy renting a vehicle from me.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Findlay Chevrolet is part of Findlay Automotive Group, which was founded more than 50 years ago by the late Pete Findlay, whose son, Cliff Findlay, now operates 27 dealerships in Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Idaho.</div>

For us at Findlay Auto, our belief in diversity starts with our owners, Cliff and Justin Findlay, and our Chief Financial Officer, Tyler Corder, who, collectively, have done an excellent job in creating an organization where people’s differences are acknowledged, appreciated and, more importantly, respected. In fact, these gentlemen have used these differences to achieve a common goal of providing a unique experience for our customers when they visit our dealerships.</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
The Findlays and I, a general manager for Findlay Chevrolet, have a clear understanding of the benefits that diversity has had to the success of our organization. We have found that to have a staff that is representative of our community, we may effectively relate to and understand our customer’s objectives, and how to best satisfy their needs.</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
By no means does this imply that people will only work with their respective demographic; however, it does mean that as a company, we have a better understanding of the Southern Nevada population as a whole.</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
The Findlays and I believe that a company is only as good as its team of employees; and in order to hire the best and most talented individuals, a company must have access to a greater pool of prospects. This can be achieved by expanding the diversity of the available candidates.</div>
<div style="-webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 1; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3; -webkit-hyphens: auto; border: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Diversity differences are more than race and ethnicity , but also gender, religion, age and sexual orientation. The recruitment and retention of exceptional employees has been one of the biggest challenges facing corporate America during the past few years; however, by fostering a workplace that invites a diverse workforce, we have achieved improved employee loyalty and reduced turnover.</div>

Happy employees create a happy company that creates happy customers.</div>

What is diversity? The condition of having or being composed of differing elements, especially, the inclusion of different types of people in a group or organization — like the Findlay Automotive Group.</div>

It was the 15th hole at 165 yards, par 3. It was a gorgeous day - not too hot - and approximate 40 foursomes showed up. The closest someone came to that hole was within 5 feet. Impressive. Our team got there at 430am to start setting up for the 6am tee time. We had a tent with water and, of course, the gorgeous 2013 Malibu that would have gone to the winner. Joey, from our BDC Department stayed through the whole tournament. He was attacked by wasps and had to go swimming after a big wind sent our tent into the pond...but other than that he had a great time!<br />

We have these events quite often and it's not all about selling cars. It's more about what the name says...Appreciation. We love our customers and are always on the lookout for some way to say thanks! Last weekend including drawings for Gas Cards, Oil Changes and lots more. We have a 1/100th working version of a 2nd generation Short Block that was hand made for Cliff Findlay. It is fabulous and garnered lots of attention. We made a formal introduction of the 2014 Silverado, 2014 Impala and 2014 Diesel Cruze. (Boy, that Impala rides like a 7 Series) We also had some specialty vehicles on hand, a Volt getting wrapped with a Chrome top, music and lots of pizza! It was a fun day for all.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.5pt;">We have a saying here "Hold the
Rope" which loosely translates to "everyone helping everyone."
While we have a great group of people here, we have 2 employees that
epitomize Holding the Rope.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.5pt;">Mark Rolands and Tony Tonkin have known each
other for four years and are best friends. They met when Mark was working
at a different dealership and sold Tony a truck. Mark is the Business
Development Manager here and Tony is a Sales Consultant.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.5pt;">Tony has been having kidney problems - and
that's putting it mildly. He was hospitalized in October 2011 and
diagnosed with Good Pastures Syndrome. This syndrome is a very rare auto immune
disorder that destroys the filters in the kidneys - destroying their ability to
function. Tony spent the next 5 months having Hemo Dialysis. This
is where the blood is filtered and returned to the body. After the 5
months Tony's health hadn't improved and he had to endure Peritoneal Dialysis
for 12 hours every night. This lasted for 15 months before Tony's doctors
informed him that he needed a kidney transplant.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.5pt;">This is where Mark stepped in. He was
tested and found they had the highest percentile match - higher than siblings.
Tony never asked Mark for his help. "I just determined that I wanted
to do something." Both men had to go to the Mayo Clinic in
Scottsdale for testing to see if they were healthy enough for the 4 hour
surgery. After everything came back fine they scheduled the surgery. </span> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.5pt;">The surgery was scheduled for May 28th and
they traveled to Scottsdale on the 28th. 14 hours later Tony received
Mark's kidney.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.5pt;">It's been about 2 months since the surgery
and both Tony and Mark are feeling great. Tony needs to take anti
rejection pills for the rest of his life but is looking forward to the
future. He had no complications after surgery, his health is good, he is
engaged and has a good job. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

He's gotten back to exercising and his remaining kidney will grow to make

most. We are as much in the people business as in the car business. (of course selling cars <i>is</i> very important) We believe in respect, support and loyalty. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

“That time of year” comes a little early to the West this
year with spikes in temperatures that we shouldn’t see until the end of July!
With that in mind, it’s time to protect yourself, your family, your pets and
your car from this heat! Of course, #1
is hydration for both 2 legged and 4 legged beings. If your lips are dry you are
dehydrated. If your pets usually drink a
gallon of water a day – be sure to have 2 gallons of <i>cool </i>water available. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Arguably #2 has to be <i>not</i>
leaving pets or people sitting in the car without the a/c running. On a 95⁰ day the air inside a parked vehicle
can quickly reach 145⁰! It doesn’t take
long for this temperature to take its toll on any living thing. At only 85⁰ and the windows lowered 2 inches,
the temperature inside your car will reach 109⁰ in just 15 minutes. So a quick
run in for coffee is too long! If you
see this happening – call the authorities immediately. Even 10 minutes is too long.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The steering wheel on a 95⁰ day can reach 159⁰ and the dash
can become a sweltering 181⁰! There have
been tests done showing that the dashboard can be used to cook bacon and
eggs! Wow! And that’s at a 95⁰ day. It’s going to be over 115⁰ here in the West
this weekend – you do the math. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you use sunshades in your car you can reduce the heat
build-up in your vehicle by 48⁰ and dark tint can do even more. The glass on your vehicle acts as a magnifier
so protection is imperative. Even with
some sort of sunscreen on your vehicle (whether tint, cardboard or reflective
foam) I would recommend that you cover your seat and steering wheel with a
towel. It makes it a lot more
comfortable to drive.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If the heat in your car is so intense that the a/c is not
cooling it down, be sure to open all windows, sunroof or lower the top, so that
the hot air can escape quicker. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

We raised lots of money for the homeless vets, had plenty of fun and were quite blown away by the veterans that came by to sign our wall. We are having an ongoing non-perishable food drive for our homeless vets so if you are in the area, please come by and donate. As they say, "Freedom isn't free!"<br />
<br />
Tommy Rocker showed up and entertained us, Miss Nevada was here, Mobi Zone had it all laid out and Coyote Country did a great job as usual.<br />

post.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have been very busy here at
Findlay Chevrolet – lots of events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So,
here is the final installment on car seats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This post is going to focus on Booster Seats and
correctly adjusted Seat Belts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Booster seats are for the older child who has passed the age/height
limits of the car seat but can’t fit the shoulder and lap harness as needed, usually
when the child reaches 4’9” in height and around 8 years old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A booster seat is designed so the child is
lifted and the seat belts will fit correctly as if they were adults.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The booster seat is not usually attached
using the LATCH system rather using the child’s weight and the seat belts to hold your
precious cargo in position.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The lap and shoulder belts should fit your child snugly –
with the lap belts lying low and snug and the shoulder belt lying across your child’s
chest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make sure it doesn’t lie across
the neck. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Backless booster seats are
less expensive and easier to move from vehicle to vehicle making them a good
choice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The booster seats with backs
should be used if your vehicle doesn’t have head rests.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When your child hits the 4’9” height requirement they
will most likely fit perfectly in the adult seat belts. Make sure that the
shoulder belt lies across the chest and should – not touching the neck or
throat. The lap belt should lie snugly across the upper thighs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If not, back to the booster seat for a little
extra growing time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Children should stay in the back seat until they are 12
or 13 years old – just for extra safety.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After that they can move up front with you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be sure to read about the airbags in your
owner’s manual at that time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you need help with the installation, to double check
that you have installed it correctly or to check recalls you can find someone
qualified<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>at your local fire department
or police department.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can find a CPS
Certified technician by checking out:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

correctly. All it takes is 15 minutes to ensure the safety of your child. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We are inviting all local military to come visit. Also, since this is a big travel weekend, if you are going to be in Las Vegas come by and join us. We are only 10 minutes from the Strip and it's going to be great. We just heard that Tommy Rocker is going to be here! Fun! If you have any questions just give us a call at 702.982.4000! Hope to see you this weekend!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">This blog is going to concentrate on the little ones that
would be most safe utilizing a rear-facing only seat or a rear-facing
convertible seat. These are only general
guidelines and do not constitute any recommendation of manufacturer of car
seats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span>Infants
and toddlers should always ride in a rear-facing car seat until they reach 2
years old or they reach the highest weight/height recommended by the car seat’s
manufacturer</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">. If a crash happens, a rear-facing only car seat may cradle the child's neck to protect it and help protect against any spinal cord injury.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rear-facing
only car seats are used for infants for approximately 22 pounds, depending on
the model. Though convertible seats can be used for a
newborn, they will likely fit better in an infant seat. Convertible seats are
best for when a baby's weight reaches the infant seat's limit, which may be as
early as 6 to 9 months old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 12.0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">These seats are usually small, have handles and usually
have a base that stays in the car. Sometimes they come as part of a stroller
system. The seat clicks into and out of
the base so you don’t have to reinstall every time you want to travel. Plus you
can usually buy an additional base for another vehicle. With its removable carrier and swing-up handle, an infant seat lets you
move your baby in and out of the car without disturbing him. Though it might be
a better value to jump into a convertible seat first, infant seats, by their
design, tend to be more compact and secure infants better when compared to
larger convertible models.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The main feature of a convertible car seat which is
different than other models of car seat is that they can adapt to suit the
needs of your growing child and feature an adjustable harness to fit your
child. Convertible car seats generally have padding in the side of the car seat
for side impact protection (SIP) and they are generally LATCH equipped.<span style="color: #696a6d;"> </span>The convertible seats have a 5-point harness that
attaches at the shoulders, at the hips and between the legs. They <i>are</i> larger so be sure there is room in
the car. Also, make sure that the seat
belt or LATCH belt is routed through the correct belt path. If you are not sure, it only takes a few
minutes to get it checked out to be safe.</span></span><br />

Always adhere to the suggested weight because some children grow in height quickly and without putting on the weight. Don't worry if the child's feet hit the back of the seat. When my grandson started kicking the back of the seat I was tempted to turn the car seat around. Instead I just took his shoes off and let him kick away. It didn't hurt the seat and my grandson remained protected. Luckily. children tend to be contortionists and having their legs bent is not usually a problem.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Another good rule of thumb is, when you only have one car seat to deal with, place it in the middle of the seat. This minimizes the chance of side impact injuries. And always, always check with a professional to make sure the car seat is attached correctly. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the
most important jobs faced by a parent is to keep their child safe. By far the
most common type of injury accident involving children are those that also
involve motor vehicle collisions. Not using a child safety seat correctly is a
contributing factor in more than half of the cases involving death. And let’s
not forget how distracting children can be to the driver. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

NHTSA crash data, nearly 325 children are harmed daily due to accidents on our
roads. Approximately 5% of total fatalities due to car accidents are children. Car
accidents are also the leading cause of child disability nationwide (brain
injury, paralysis, etc.). Hispanics are
likely to move their children out of car seats and booster seats earlier
because car restraint use is not a cultural norm back home so some are unaware
of the extra steps they can take to improve their child’s safety.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These
statistics are intense so I am going to write a series of blogs on keeping your
child safe while you are in your car.
Over the years our cars have become much safer but we still have to do
our part. It is very important to know
which seat is best for your child and your vehicle. You also need to know how
to install the restraint properly. But,
with so many different car seats on the market it’s no wonder that parents find
this subject overwhelming.</span></span></div>

Highway Safety) and more. I am going to
include videos showing how to use car seats and booster seats. I am going to
include locations where you can get your car seats inspected. And I will answer (or direct you to the
proper authority) any questions you direct to me. This is going to be fun, educational and

The author listed the Cadillac Catera, the Edsel, the Pontiac Aztec, the Yugo GV, and the Lincoln Blackwood as the baddest of the bad. The article cited poor choice of targeted buyers (Catera), poor design (Aztec), poor quality (Yugo), lacking high end features (Blackwood) and a marketing failure (Edsel).<br />
