my son recently needed to be in a cast for 6 long week due to hip dysplasia. i was very worried about many things but one of my main concerns was a car seat!!
he wouldnt fit in his regular car seat with a full body cast, what was i supposed to do!?
after countless hours spent online researching, joining support groups, and reading blogs, i found someone across the country who had received a loaner car seat from safe kids organization.
i crossed my fingers and sent out an email to their local office based out of miami childrens hospital.
within 24 hours i had a personal phone call from ms. malvina duncan letting me know she had a hippo car seat manufactured by britax which is specially made for children in spica casts. i was beyond elated!!!!
my husband drove over and met with her, she made sure the seat was installed properly and we were on our way. our son fit percfectly in the seat and it was such a relief to know we could leave our house and him be safe in the car.
the 6 weeks flew by and we returned the car seat (she had told us not to worry about a professional cleaning, since they get it cleaned between each user)
i cannot thank ms. duncan enough for her amazing customer service, professionalism, and tru kindness, she even text me to find out how my son was doing!!
