Our Story

Bailey Boys Car Seats was founded with a vital mission: to raise awareness about the critical importance of properly securing children in passenger vehicles. This initiative was born from a profound tragedy—the devastating car accident that claimed the lives of two young brothers, Knowledge, age 5, and Kingston, age 4, along with their beloved mother, Shatasha.

Knowledge & Kingston Bailey

Two brothers: Knowledge and Kingston Bailey

Knowledge and Kingston were spirited, curious boys who brought joy and energy wherever they went. They were known for their boundless enthusiasm and their love for exploring the world around them. The park was a favorite destination, where they delighted in play and adventure, and they cherished their time spent with family, always eager for new experiences and connections.
