About

Also known as “CPS Darren”, I have retired from writing at CarseatBlog about vehicle safety and Child Passenger Safety topics. Read more about me at CarseatBlog, facebook and LinkedIn.  I was a certified child passenger safety technician for 25 years, a traffic safety consultant and automotive journalist member of the Midwest Automotive Media Association for over 15 years.  I have expertise in child safety seat and automotive safety issues.

I live near Chicago, Illinois, with my wife.  I owned and managed two small businesses, Carseat Media LLC internet publishing, and Seatcheck, a local Chicago area carseat fitting station.

I offer a specialized consulting service to help parents choose the right car seat and family vehicle.  Please Contact Me for information about consulting or media inquiries.
