What are the safety standard procedures that each of these products must meet prior to being showcased and sold? Are these standards being met.

In particular I am concerned with the comment from “Driver8″ who stated that a similar product was in use in NY City cabs until it was determined that it pooled moisture and blew mouldy air into the vehicle, and in this case, directly into the infant/toddler’s face.

for the vent extender-kids are most likey to get more sick.

for hot weather blowing cold air directly at their face is bad.

The vent extender concept existed in NYC cabs in the late 90s– until it was banned by the Taxi and Limousine commission. Turns out condensation from the cool A/C air would pool inside the tube. That water would end up getting all moldy– and the mold spores were then “blown” onto the rider in the back seat. Not something you’d want to be doing to your baby.

What's up with the Vent Extender? Great idea no doubt but what is the child doing in the front seat? Furthermore, is it just Arizona or do other people see children way under the age of 5 sitting in the backseat with no car seat or booster?

As for me getting it to use, I have thought of similar ideas on how to go about doing this and my wife shuts them down quickly.
