Missouri state law requires any child under the age of four to be restrained in a car seat. A child can graduate to a booster seat once they meet any of the following criteria.

•    No matter the age, the child must weigh at least forty pounds.
•    The child is between four and eight years old
•    The child’s weight is between forty and eighty pounds
•    The child is shorter than 4 feet 9 inches in height.

The staff at Lou Fusz Chrysler Dodge Jeep in O’Fallon, Missouri want to help parents keep their children safe. Here’s a quick rundown on how to install car seats in some of the Dodge/Chrysler family of cars.

New Dodge and Chrysler mini-vans are equipped with car seat anchors in both the second and third rows. Parents can quickly install car seats using all three tethers. In addition, these seats have removable head rests so there is no interference with a taller car seat or booster.

A true family sedan, the Chrysler 300 is one of a select handful of vehicles that can fit three car seats in the rear seat. Car seats are installed using the anchors built into the rear seat cushions. Each car seat has its own dedicated set of anchors. Rear-facing seats fit well without requiring the front seat to push forward.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee can also fit three car seats in the second row. Again, this bench seat has dedicated anchors for each car seat and plenty of room for rear-facing seats. The top tether anchor is located about halfway down the back of the seat, behind the flaps which serve as the cargo floor covers.

New for 2013, the Dodge Dart can comfortable fit two car seats and a booster. The two outer seats have metal anchors for either front or rear-facing car seats. A booster seat anchored with the seat belt works fine in the center spot.

A good alternative to a minivan, the Dodge Journey has two rear seats which accommodate several car seats. The middle seat has anchors for child seats while the third seat does not. The Journey comes with two integrated child booster seats. These seats pop out of the regular seat so are easy to use but quickly fold back for adults. With two rows of rear seating, the Journey can accommodate four car seats.

Although car seat laws do vary by state, generally most states require children under the age of eight or eighty pounds be restrained in a federally approved car or booster seat. Arkansas requires the use of car seats for children ages six and under, or below sixty pounds. Oklahoma law stipulates children five and under must use a car seat, while those between six and 12 years must use a booster or the seat belt.

Parent in the O’Fallon area can bring their car seats into the dealership if they have questions about installation. Our staff is dedicated to helping parents do all they can to protect their children. Car seats are required by law because they are the best possible way to keep precious little ones safe.

1. Talk to Loved Ones and Acquaintances

A person should ask loved ones for recommendations in order to find a trustworthy attorney. Some people may remember the name of an attorney that they used in the past. If this is the case, a person may write down the name of the attorney for later use. A neighbor or a friend may be a lawyer; if this is not the case, he or she may work for a lawyer. It is crucial to ask as many people as possible.

2. Go on the Internet

It is not enough to ask loved ones for recommendations. These loved ones may carry a bias, and the information they provide may not be wholly accurate. A person should consider looking on the Internet for more information. Many attorneys and law firms are aware of the fact that the Internet is popular; the firm may create a website in order to appeal to potential clients. A person should also look at review websites. There are review websites available for just about any subject. Former customers and clients can talk about their experiences and warn others. It is vital to read more than one review.

3. Interview Attorneys

A person should create a list of possible attorneys. Once a person completes the list, he or she should call the attorneys and set up appointments. Some attorneys appear professional on the Internet, but this may not necessarily be the case. A person should prepare a list of criteria ahead of the meeting. Does the attorney have strong writing skills? Does the attorney have a history of philanthropy? For example, Attorney Morgan Chu * donated over 2 million dollars to a school. A person should also look at the atmosphere of the office. If the office appears unclean or generally unprofessional, the attorney should be dismissed.

It is vital for a person to feel comfortable with an attorney. A person should feel confident in any legal situation. The information above may help a person locate a suitable and professional attorney. He or she should not give up no matter what.

Children love to play. Over the decades companies have been trying to conceive of better, safer and more durable playground surfaces. Older adults remember asphalt and gravel surfaces. Sand and wood chips have been used to line playground surfaces as well, but none of these offer much, if any fall protection. Over 200,000 emergency room visits each year are due to playground related injuries.

Rubber playground mulch is one of the safest and most durable playground surfaces available. The recycled rubber has a fall height protection up to 14 feet depending on the mulch thickness. Rubber mulch is safer than any other playground surface and meets CPSC’s high safety standards.

Rubber mulch is made from recycled tires providing affordable playground surfacing. Companies like Rubberecycle specialize in using recycled rubber from tires to make rubber mulch.  Most rubber mulch is ADA approved, low maintenance, odor free and non-toxic. Rubber playground surfaces will not freeze nor mold. With so many other safety hazards on a playground for children, the playground surface no longer has to be one of them.
Rubber mulch comes in a variety of colors to make the most aesthetically pleasing playground for your home or business need. Rubber playground surfacing is safer for children with allergies as it reduces the dust in the surface area.

Recycled rubber playground surfacing is the best protection afforded to any playground. Guaranteed to last a lifetime, rubber mulch makes a great investment. Recycled rubber surfacing also is available in tiles and pour and place which will not move and is available in multiple thickness gradations.

• Neglecting to follow the Fair Housing Laws including, religion, gender heritage disability, familial status and race
• Failure to repair dangerous conditions as injuries from this will result in a lawsuit
• Neglecting to Incorporate the property thus protecting the landlord from many liabilities
• Failure to provide a lease which protects the landlord and tenants

Making sure these five important legal issues will ensure the protection for not only the owner of the residence but also the tenants. This will also show the tenants that laws are going to be followed and the seriousness of these laws. Finding an attorney is relatively simple these days.  For example, if you live in Southern Utah you can just do a google search for St George Attorney.  You should have plenty of results to compare and sift through.

The beauty of many small internet companies that have been growing over the last ten to fifteen years is that most of them are privately held and centered in the United States. Most prefer to keep a very good labor ethic by keeping jobs here at home rather than exporting them overseas to other countries. Smaller internet businesses have been shown to have higher customer service reputations as well. Customers seem to appreciate being able to to speak to their friendly customer service agents and to get a quick response. Another part of customer service which is more highly seen among the smaller companies is their lack of tracking the online privacy of the customers. These companies prefer to prevent that as much as possible in order to prevent identity theft.

If you are searching for a web provider, you may consider looking at a small company. Their higher standards may be able to provide you with a better internet browsing experience. Find a company worth your money today.

Don’t go overboard
You can certainly go overboard trying to give a home a unique feel that let’s everyone know it got your stamp on it.  I’ve seen people buy a perfectly good home only gut the interior, replacing carpet, cabinets, and repainting.  I’ve also seen people go overboard on landscaping, again attempting to remake the home and make sure that everyone in the neighborhood know that there are some new tenants in town.  I wouldn’t say that a little remodeling or landscaping is a bad idea but you really need to consider what the cost will be and will you ever have a chance to recoupe that cost.

Keep it simple
The best advise here is to keep it simple.  Think of inexpensive, affordable ways to make your mark while adding to the uniqueness or character of the home.  Simple ideas like some new blinds or planting a rose garden are things that will stand out but not break the bank.  One of the easiest ways to add a little unique touch or character is to get creative with your address plaque.  Most people just go ver the standard house numbers but you would be suprized at some of the really cool address plaques that you can get that will give add a little rustic, classic, or modern feel depending on your preference.
