How our car seat & stroller saved one baby’s life
Jennifer Saxon was walking down a steep slope in a parking garage when the unthinkable happened – her Doona Car Seat and Stroller carrying her baby began to roll too fast for Jennifer to steer. Jennifer gave chase, only for the speeding stroller to hit a crack in the concrete and completely flip over— causing Jennifer to tumble over it.
The impact left Jennifer with multiple scratches and intense bruising, but thankfully, there wasn’t a scratch on her baby! Jennifer’s little one didn’t even cry. That may seem surprising, but Jen attributed her baby’s safety to her Doona’s incredible technology: its 5-point harness, high impact ratings and sturdy car seat design.
As the CEO of Tot Squad and a child passenger safety technician herself, Jennifer Beall Saxon has a deeper understanding of the importance of baby products’ safety. It’s why she founded Tot Squad: to connect new parents with baby safety services like car seat installation and babyproofing.
Ultimately, by telling other parents about her experience with Doona, Jennifer wants to spread the message on the importance of using car seats and strollers properly. Most of all, she wants to emphasize the benefits of utilizing all their safety features – because parents have to be ready to protect their little ones at any time.
