Pikesville, Maryland - June 25, 2015: Car Seat Lady Alisa Baer's niece demonstrates the preferred way to seat children in a car, back-facing.
Seven-week-old Leora Aghion sits in a Nuna Pipa infant seat ($300), outside their house in Pikesville, Maryland. Her car seat has a load leg, which braces the seat on the floor well. Load legs are more common in Europe than in the U.S.
Alisa Baer, 35, and Emily Levine, 34, both from Manhattan and Alisa's mother Deborah Baer, 67, from Pikesville, Maryland operate The Car Seat Lady blog and car seat installation classes available in New York and Maryland.
