Importance of a 5-Point Harness Carseat
I have posted about Kyle before, and Chris has as well. I just can’t tell you how much his story has touched me.
Since I last posted his video, the Miller family has started a non-profit foundation in honor and memory of Kyle. The webpage is: http://www.kyledavidmiller.org
Their mission is to keep children in a 5pt safety harness up to 80lbs. They are accepting applications from families who cannot afford to purchase these seats and are supplying those seats through our tax-free donations.
Today, for every comment you leave to this post, up I will donate $3 to the foundation. let’s get enough comments for the foundation to be able to purchase one car seat or more!
Are all of your 80lb and under children in a 5 point restraint? I can say that all of mine are now. Cody’s Britax Regent arrived in the mail a few weeks ago and now everyone is safe for our travels with the trailer. It was $ well spent.
Far Away by Nickelback
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there’s just one left
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore
On my knees, I’ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
‘Cause with you, I’d withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I’d give it all
I’d give for us
Give anything but I won’t give up
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
‘Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
‘Cause I’m not leaving u anymore
Believe me
Hold on to me and
never let me go
Thank you for doing this. It means a lot to parents that do not know about this. I have a 3 yr now and a 1 yr. I will put them both in one. Thank you again.
Thanks for info about 5-point seats. I’m happy to be able to help others get the seat, and I will double-check what we are using for our 2 darlings–they are new seats, but I want to be sure they are “5-point.” I can feel a hint of the grief for those who lose their children–so much so that I can’t imagine the total depth of that despair should it ever actually happen to me. I can’t even stand to try to imagine it for very long.
Many thanks to Jody for your donation to the Kyle David Miller Foundation. We will be placing an order for more seats today and we have a shipment of 14 seats going out today – you have helped keep children safer on the roads. Thank you to all who have expressed your condolences to the Miller family for their loss of Kyle. Please visit the foundation website.
Thanks so much to everyone for your comments!
Numerous commenters have expressed sorrow for my loss. I need to point out that Kyle was not my son. I was very moved by the video, and wanted to post it on my site to get the word out about the safety of a 5-point restraint for your children. It is so very heartbreaking, but by making that video, Kyle’s family is saving lives.
