About Dana
Dana Reyes is a nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) and the safety editor at Robin Cove, where she leads car seat and sleep-product testing. Over more than eight years she has personally installed and inspected over 1,200 car seats across hundreds of vehicle makes and models.
Her work focuses on the gear where safety is non-negotiable — car seats, bassinets, and sleep products — translating dense federal standards (FMVSS 213) and AAP guidance into plain-English advice parents can actually use. She runs free community car seat check events and has helped thousands of families correct the installation mistakes that affect roughly half of all seats.
Dana reviews Robin Cove’s safety and health content for accuracy, and updates rankings whenever a recall or certification change lands. She believes the right information, clearly explained, prevents more injuries than any single product feature.
