Safety 1st Giveaway

July 16, 2009 by Caryn

This giveaway is now closed! Thanks so much for stopping by. The winner is Susan! Congrats!

What are your plans this summer? While my husband had planned an incredible New England trip for us, sadly, that is not going to work out due to the pregnancy. We do have a couple of fun trips planned including a trip to Minnesota for a General Mills Eat & Greet (my husband and son will be in tow) and a driving trip through the South. When my husband and I were first married, we’d hop on a plane on a whim.

Now that we have a little boy and one on the way, we’ll definitely be making more road trips (it’s actually really difficult…but not impossible…to travel with kids on a plane). This summer travel season, Safety 1st is offering a a “Summer Road Trip Safety” basket to one of you! Summer travel is fun and exciting, but it is important to first ensure the safety of your children in the back seat before you are able to sit back and relax.

Safety1stSummerRoadTripBasket

The basket includes items from Safety 1st’s ProGrade line, all of which are crash tested by the Safety 1st team of certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians. ProGrade items include the See Baby Soft Mirror (for the backseat headrest), the Secure View Mirror (for the rear view mirror), the Soft Solution Roller Shade, the famous “Baby on Board” window sign, and a $25 gas gift card to fill your tank! To enter simply post about your summer travel plans. If you would like an additional entry, tweet about the contest (be sure you’re following me) and comment once more with the link to your tweet. Comments will close on July 23, 2009 at 10 PM PST.

Safety1st_Logo Also, for those of you attending BlogHer in Chicago, be sure to stop by the Safety 1st booth to learn about the latest development in child safety. Side impact crashes are by far the most harmful type of collision for children; and Safety 1st has developed Air Protect, a groundbreaking new car seat technology to help protect against this terrifying threat. Safety 1st will be giving away the Complete Air car seat, the first car seat available with Air Protect, so make sure you stop by and enter to win!

To learn more about Air Protect, visit www.safety1st.com/airprotect.

Profuse thanks to Mom Generations for this giveaway opportunity.

My travel plans are to not travel too far from home. We have planned and are planning smaller trips to Mountains and amusement parks.

While I wish I really knew what we might be doing I hope that we can get away if only over the border into either Wisconsin or Michigan.

We already went to Niagara Falls. I am having surgery next week, so that squashes any other plans!

I would love to win this.

We have to go see my mother-in-law in Georgia next month. It will be ten long days of listening to her non-stop complaining and negativity. I have offered to stay behind to do some much needed house cleaning, but my husband won’t let me…heavy sigh…

Carrie

We’re not going much of anywhere this year- just a short trip to Canada for my husband’s brother’s wedding. But hopefully soon we’ll get back to traveling more!

Melissa @Mel4Him

No summer travel plans here. Just not possible with the finances and car issues. But there’s still plenty to do around town from fun festivals, events at the Library, & the family swimming pool. : )

Unfortunately, we have no vacation planned for this summer. We do hope to get to the beach a couple of times though. Thanks for the review and giveaway!

Go to Yellowstone.

We just finished a vacation in Va, but will be going to Preque isle, Erie, PA before the start of the new school year!

we are traveling to see family this summer.

My grandmother has been wanting to visit the town where she grew up, and lived in for more than 60 years. Gram says she’d like to see her friends, “one last time” as they are all well into their 70’s and 80’s. I have volunteered to be the driver.

Thao

We are going to the beach this weekend. DH parents rented a beach house and since he is jobless, this is about the only thing we can afford to do.

We are in central FL and have friends on the Gulf Coast of FL, we usually go their house for a visit a couple of times and they come to ours. We do BBQs, hang out around the pool, go to the beach when there, and go to Disney when here. They are teachers so are off all summer. It is really a lot of fun.
Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway.

We arent really planning to take a big vacation. At most we may take a weekend trip or a couple of day trips to get away.

We’re planning a 13-hour road trip to Maine, so if we win this it will come in very, very handy. We love to travel and spend a lot of time on the road each summer, so the kit would sure get a lot of use.

We are bringing our son to Walt Disney World for the first time. He’s going to love it.

I’m hoping for a trip to see the new Busch Gardens park this summer with my Grandbabies. I would love to have this for my son……a mother can never be too “helpful” where this is concerned.

Mostly this summer I’m traveling back and forth to Joplin to visit my kids. I had planned a trip to Kansas to see my sister, but when Charlie had the heart attack scare it took a chunk out of my budget. Next big thing we’re looking at is a trip to Kansas City for the Renaissance Fair, the Oklahoma State Fair, and Branson for Silver Dollar City’s fabulous Christmas Light Festival.

177

We stayed home this summer but we had a lot of guests here. My parents came for a visit and my brother in law was home from Iraq. So there wasn’t a lot of travel but there was plenty of family visits.

178

We won’t be going far this summer unfortunately. Finances being what they are we’re sticking close to home. We may take a day trip to Sedona, AZ from Phoenix not a very far trip but nice to get of the city for a while and escape some of the heat.

179

This year we’re planning on heading to the Grand Canyon to go camping. We haven’t been before so it should be a really fun trip. This prize pack would be great for our road trip!
