Tickets for Babies & Evolution of Car Seats

A Calgary mother is frustrated over a ticket policy that prevented her from bringing her breastfeeding baby to a show. She was told if she wanted her son to attend, she would have to pay full-price for a ticket. We hear from her plus we take a look at ticket policies for babies at venues across the country. We ask a human rights lawyer if the rule is discriminatory. Margot Young is a professor with the Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia.

Child car seats today are all about safety, but when the first model hit the market nearly a century ago, it was more about giving mom and dad somewhere to put their child. From the first car seat in 1933 to the ones on store shelves today, we take a look at the evolution of car seats.  Trudy Slaght from the Child Passenger Safety Association shares with us the biggest changes and makes some predictions for the next generation for car seats.

And, University of Alberta family physician Stephanie Liu launched her blog, Life of Dr. Mom, to offer an evidence-based alternative to the misinformation she found on many mom blogs.
