Review for Kyle David Miller Foundation, Confier, CO, USA
I have a BIG kid. No, he's not morbidly obese or anything, he's just my big guy. 99% in both height and weight. So at 2 years old he had outgrown 40lbs harnessed seats by height, and was nearing outgrowing them by weight. I started researching, and was flabbergasted. The ONLY seats (and there were only TWO at the time) he would fit in were almost $300!! As a single parent there was no way. Especially not on the month or two notice I had to do it in. I called police stations, state trooper assoc., children's hospital, and all only give out seats that have 14.5" top slots with 40lbs harnesses. No good. I was told to put him in a booster, which from research I knew was unacceptable. A smart CPST told me to apply to the KDM foundation, I was quickly approved a few months later got a seat. Without it I don't know what I would've had to do. My son is happy and safe in his Britax Regent. Kyle's family has done an awesome thing. And its a beautiful way to preserve their son's memory, by saving other children's lives.
