I love your book and it has been a life saver to this first time mom, but don't you think you could proof read it a little better before sending it to the printer? I have taken to correcting it as I read it, I guess once a teacher always a teacher. It seems to be mostly typos, things that appear correct to a computerized spell-check, but when a person is reading it, don't make sense. Here's an example: On page 346 of the latest edition you write "...where many vehicles has no LATCH anchors..." See, the word vehicles is plural and so 'has' should be 'have' for proper subject-verb agreement. Further down the page you write "Most of these cars have a lap/should belt in the center position..." Obviously you meant to write 'lap/shoulder belt'. Like I already stated, these are things that look correct to a computer spell-check, but in real life are incorrect. Maybe we still need humans for some jobs.
Sorry, but I was raised by a grammar fanatic and suffered through dinner table conversations over things such as the proper pronuciation of the word 'short-lived'. Let me know if you need an editor for future editions!
