#made in America

 

You see the products in store from Maxi-Cosi, Safety 1st and Cosco but did you know that your Safety 1st child proofing item, Cosco bathtub, or the base of your Maxi-Cosi car seat was made and assembled in the USA?

 

AOL’s newest series This Built America took an in-depth behind the scenes look at Dorel Juvenile Group and the people who work every day to keep your children safe.

 

  • Dorel has invested more than $20 million in its state-of-the-art Dorel Technical Center for Child Safety to drive technological advancements in child passenger safety. The Technical Center, opened in September 2010, marks the first major initiative in the Company’s car seat product capital investment program. The first resulted in new jobs with plans for a total of 100 new positions in Columbus by the end of 2014.

 

  • Ninety percent of Dorel’s North American car seats and 50 percent of DJG USA’s total business are currently produced and distributed from the Columbus facility. The new facility is integrated in DJG’s Columbus 1.1 million square foot campus which can produce up to 20,000 car seats per day.

 

  • Side impact crashes have dramatically increased since the 1980s, and today are the deadliest kind of automobile crash for children.  In 2013, Dorel Juvenile introduced its latest advancement in car seat safety, Air Protect +. Air Protect + combines the advanced protection of our Air Protect cushion system with patented GCell HXTM foam designed with hexagonal shapes for superior protection around the torso. Together they provide full body side impact protection.
