Amazon is having another sale on Britax car seats. There have been some interesting developments in car seat recommendations lately - the American Academy of Pediatrics agrees that kids should be kept rear-facing until age 2, and the industry as a whole is moving towards an acknowledgment of the huge importance of side-impact protection - so if you're looking to switch seats, now is a great time to get a Britax, which is at the leading edge of both trends. Most seats are $50 off in this sale, and also qualify for free shipping from Amazon. We've personally purchased three Britax seats for Z so far and we love them!

Only a few hours to go on the semi-annual Britax sale. If you're looking for a chance to get a good deal on a Britax seat, don't miss it!

The Flip Ultra Digital Video Camera is on sale for about $80 in white in its 30-minute format. The list price is $150. Not sure if this is a "one-day only" sale or just get-it-before-it's gone, but it's a sweet deal on a very user-friendly and fun digital video camera. We use ours exclusively for digital video, and love almost everything about it, and it has an average rating on Amazon.com of four out of five stars, with almost 1,200 reviews. Interested? Get one here.

Car seat maker Britax controls its retail prices with strict retailer agreements and discounts them twice a year for two weeks; one of those Semi-Annual Sales began yesterday and runs through February 15. (Any deals you see at other times of year are either for seats with discontinued fabric options - a good way to get a deal in its own right - or are grounds for the company to get shut out of Britax.)

Britax has a few fantastic choices, and the sale discounts - in most cases it's around $50 off - make this a great time to buy a seat you'll need anytime in the next six or seven months. We highly recommend the Regent, the Frontier, and the Boulevard CS based on personal experience; most recently, we have been testing the Boulevard CS over the last couple of months.

Britax had one small safety hiccup recently with the Frontier, but it required a simple part that should be included on the seat if you buy one now. and they're at the forefront of safer car seat design, including evolving side impact technology that's absent from many U.S. car seats.

We'll post our review of the Boulevard "Click & Safe" (CS) tomorrow. If you're looking to buy, though, here's a spoiler: It rocks.

We gave this kids' camera the nod for the second year running last week. (If you missed it, you can read our kids' camera roundup here.) Well, you can pick it up now for under $38 - the Frustration-Free packaging is just the icing on the cake for a camera that lists for $60 and usually sells for over $50. [Via]

The semi-annual Britax sale is under way this week. You can get a Frontier youth seat (which we reviewed here) for $250, the best deal we've seen going on any of the sites participating in the sale. Britax also has their Regent car seats on sale, also for $250 - again, the best price we've seen among all those who would like to sell you your new car seat.

The Regent has one of the highest top straps in the market so it will keep your child in a five-point harness for a long time!
