Celeb moms lose the baby weight with Baby Jogger.
Celebrity Baby Blog at Celebrity-babies.com, June 2006
Top baby blog reveals that “Celeb moms lose the baby weight with Baby Jogger.” “Getting back into shape after a baby is top priority for celebrities, while the pressure to keep it off is grueling. But take it from stars like Gwen Stefani, who is getting her toned body back with the help of her Baby Jogger Performance Series stroller...Brooke Shields...walks in style with her black City Series double model. Other celebrity parents using the Baby Jogger include Michelle Williams & Heath Ledger (Q Series single- for hiking), Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin (City Series double), Shanna Moakler & Travis Barker (Q Series single- for jogging) and Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck (City Series single). We received a City Series model from Baby Jogger and I absolutely love it. I'm not much of a runner but I am a notoriously fast walker...It has an adjustable handle, folds easily (with one hand!) and the front wheel can be locked (for running) or left for walking.”

JPMA Welcomes Consumer Reports’ Withdraw of Infant Car Seat Report
The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), which represents the leading manufacturers of infant child restraints in the United States, is pleased about the withdrawal by Consumer Reports of their recent infant car seat test reports.
Immediately upon reading the article, JPMA and the car seat manufacturers were convinced that the testing was flawed. Scientific evidence, such as that produced by the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania, indicates that no product is more effective at reducing fatalities and injuries to our precious children than child restraint seats. These seats are considerably more effective than adult safety belts. The bigger issue affecting the potential for injury or death is non-use of such seats. Too many infants and especially older children ride unrestrained in motor vehicles.
The child restraint manufacturers, along with NHTSA and the safety community are dedicated to ensuring that child restraint seats continue to evolve in addressing real world incidents.
JPMA has been educating consumers on the safe use and selection of juvenile products for more than 44 years and we are pleased Consumer Reports recognizes the importance of child restraints and their effectiveness in real world crashes.
We continue to welcome the opportunity to work with NHTSA, and the child safety community to address any credible information regarding the performance of child restraint seats.

Statement From National Highway Traffic Safety Administrator Nicole Nason Regarding Consumer Reports’ Withdrawal of Its Infant Car Seat Test Report
“Consumer Reports was right to withdraw its infant car seat test report and I appreciate that they have taken this corrective action. We are always eager to work with Consumer Reports and other organizations to improve child safety and ensure that consumers continue to have access to accurate and credible data. I was troubled by the report because it frightened parents and could have discouraged them from using car seats. It is absolutely essential for every parent to understand that the safest place in an automobile for an infant is in a car seat. Simply put, car seats are the best defense for a child in a crash.
“Our initial review of the Consumer Reports testing procedures showed a significant error in the manner in which it conducted and reported on its side-impact tests. The organization’s data show its side-impact tests were actually conducted under conditions that would represent being struck in excess of 70 mph, twice as fast as the group claimed. When NHTSA tested the same child seats in conditions representing the 38.5 mph conditions claimed by Consumer Reports, the seats stayed in their bases as they should, instead of failing dramatically.”

CONSUMER REPORTS WITHDRAWS INFANT CAR SEAT REPORT
Move is made pending additional testing now underway
NEW YORK (Jan. 18) -- Consumer Reports is withdrawing its recent report on infant car seats pending further tests of the performance of those seats in side-impact collisions.
A new report will be published with any necessary revisions as soon as possible after the new tests are complete.
We withdrew the report immediately upon discovering a substantive issue that may have affected the original test results. The issue came to light based on new information received Tuesday night and Wednesday morning from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concerning the speed at which our side-impact tests were conducted.
The original study, published in the February issue of Consumer Reports, was aimed at discovering how infant seats performed in tests at speeds that match those used in the government’s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). This program tests most new vehicles in crashes at speeds of 35 mph for frontal impact and 38 mph for side impact. Child safety seats, in contrast, are currently tested only in front-impact crashes at speeds of 30 mph.
Our tests were intended to simulate side crashes at the NCAP speed of 38 mph. The new information raises a question about whether the tests accurately simulated that speed, however, so we are now reviewing our tests and the resulting article.
To those who may have seen the report earlier in print, on the Web, or in broadcasts, we urge you to remember that use of any child seat is safer than no child seat, but to suspend judgment on the merits of individual products until the new testing has been completed and the report re-published.
We appreciate that manufacturers and particularly NHTSA are engaging directly with us on this article, and we applaud NHTSA for giving serious consideration to development of side-impact child seat tests. Consumer Reports has long advocated adoption of such tests, since government data shows that side crashes account for a significant number of child fatalities.
We look forward to re-issuing guidance on child-seat safety as soon as possible.
