PLEASE READ THIS AFTER YOU WATCH THE VIDEO...Very Important Information...
Statistics show that 90% of all children's car seats are incorrectly used or installed! To find a location to get your carseat installation inspected, go to:

**********NEWS************

We have begun a non-profit foundation recently in honor and memory of Kyle. (please view our new video on YouTube.) You can find the webpage here - http://www.kyledavidmiller.org
Our mission is to keep children in a 5pt safety harness up to 80lbs - we are accepting applications from families who cannot afford to purchase these car seats and are supplying those seats through the tax-free donations you can make through the site. We also have car seat safety information posted and will answer any question you have on car seat safety through the contact webpage. Please visit the site and help keep as many children safe as we can.

Please note that the Britax Regent, Britax Frontier and Sunshine Kids Radian 80 are the ONLY 3 car seats that harness up to 80 pounds. There is a lot of confusion about this because some car seats will convert to a booster and show a higher weight limit but that weight limit is for the booster mode, not the 5-point harness mode. If you do not have one of these 3 seats, please check your car seat manual if your child is over 40 pounds and you want to keep them in a 5-point harness to make sure your seat allows it.

***NEW NEWS***
The Kyle David Miller Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of http://www.HipMonkey.com
- You can now purchase Britax, Sunshine Kids, Safeguard and Recaro car seats and many other baby/children's products from Hip Monkey and the 100% of proceeds from every sale will be donated to the Kyle David Miller Foundation to go towards purchasing car seats for children in need!! Please visit HipMonkey.com and help support children in need through your purchase!

Video Info:
My son was killed in a car accident last year because a senile, 78 year old woman ran a red light and hit us causing us to flip into a ditch. Kyle's seatbelt came unlatched during the roll and he was ejected. His seatbelt was later examined by several experts who determined it was faulty and told me that seatbelts can and do fail, especially in roll over accidents. I had no idea that seatbelts could fail and think that this is something everyone should be made aware of. The government also needs to be more strict about making sure the people they issue licenses to are fit to drive...

I watched your video and am so very sad for your loss. I have a 5 point harness Britax and have it anchored but not tethered. As soon as I press post on this message I am going outside to tether my daughter's carseat...Thank you so very much for this video. I also had been thinking of getting a booster for my husband's truck because it would be so much easier than switching her seat from my van to his truck. I won't be doing that either.....a million thank you's

In August 2005 my son was born and it was some time after that I saw your tribute to Kyle posted on BabyCenter. It is because of this tribute, because of Kyle that we kept both of our children extended rear facing and my eldest who will be 6 is still in a 5 Point Britax booster even though most of his friends are in the seat belt ones. Thank you for sharing Kyles story. I have thought of Kyle so many times over the years and I will never forget him, ever.

My 7 year old daughter always puts the seatbelt behind her and only has the lap belt. She is 75 lbs too big for a 5 point but after seeing your precious son, I will tell my daughter about his story. Thank u from one mother to another. God Bless u.

Thank you for sharing this. After watching this horrible tragedy, i realized that i needed to double check my carseats. Im saddened to report that BOTH of my childrens carseats were NOT installed correctly. I was horrified that i have been driving my 22 month old son & my 3 year old daughter in carseats that were not properly installed. Once again,,,,thank you.

Thank you for posting. I watched this video shortly after it was posted. Anytime I hear "Far Away" I think of Kyle and how important it is to keep my kids safely buckled up. I hope you are doing well....thanks again!

He should have not been in a booster seat at 3 years old!! Me and my son where involved in an accident that totaled our car and severed my next down to my throat.. He didn't have a scratch on his body, because of the 5 point harness he was wearing!!!
