Safe & Supported: Everything From Car Seats to You

Raising kids in the city comes with its own unique set of questions. How do you safely navigate taxis and rideshares with a car seat? What should you look for in a stroller or other gear built for busy city life? What happens when your child gets sick or hurt while you’re out? And how do you balance keeping your kids safe with actually letting them experience everything the city has to offer?

Join us for Safe & Supported in the City, a practical, reassuring conversation about navigating everyday city life with kids safely and confidently. Michelle Pratt, Founder of Safe in the Seat, will tackle car seat and transportation safety; Dr. Lyndsey Garbi of Blueberry Pediatrics will bring the pediatric perspective on common health and safety concerns; Brianne Manz, Founder of Stroller in the City and longtime NYC mom, will share the real-life realities of raising and getting around the city with kids; and Kelly Murphy, Safety Advocate at CYBEX, will share what parents should know about choosing and using baby gear safely.

Together, we’ll cut through the noise and give parents practical guidance for everything from car seats, taxis, strollers, and busy streets to playground mishaps, everyday illnesses, and knowing when something actually warrants a call to the pediatrician.

Whether you’re navigating the subway with a stroller, hopping into a rideshare, heading to the playground, or simply trying to get everyone from A to B, you’ll leave feeling more prepared and confident navigating the city with your family.
