When I was pregnant with Handsome I checked out LifebankUSA as the source for holding my son's cord cells in case we ever needed them. It is a company I am proud to stand behind because if this is something you believe in, this is the company for you.
I am happy to let you know that Lifebank USA is hosting an awesome Britax car seat giveaway on their Facebook page. They will be giving three people a chance to win a Britax Marathon 70-G3 Convertible Car Seat valued at $231.99. We have purchased two Britax seats in 9 years and absolutely swear by them. They are a little more expensive than many others but cannot be beat in the safety of your children and really this whole post is about just that. Parents NEED the Peace of Mind to know that their children are safe and protected. It is something Teach and I spent many months researching when we were new parents and we have found that these two companies give us that!
Lifeblood USA
As the only company that offers cord blood, placenta
blood and tissue banking -- and the first to release placenta-derived stem
cells for a successful transplant -- New Jersey-based LifebankUSA is a
technological leader that is pioneering key medical innovations in the
field. Owned by the Celgene Corporation, a world-class biopharmaceutical
company, LifebankUSA also operates a robust donation program and collects cells
from anywhere in the US for use primarily in advancing medical research.
Through cord blood banking, you can collect and preserve
potentially lifesaving stem cells, and doing so could one day save the life of
your child or a blood relative. You can bank even more stem cells by collecting
them from 2 usable sources of stem cell-rich blood: the umbilical cord and the
placenta. This service is called Placental and Cord Blood Banking, and it's
available only from LifebankUSA. Whether you choose Placental and Cord Blood Banking
or Cord Blood Banking alone, there are many important reasons to choose
LifebankUSA.
"LifebankUSA is a pioneer in placenta-stem cell
technology. Our stem cell banking program meets and exceeds the highest
standards in the industry-and we are the only company that can provide access
to technology that allows you to boost the number of cells you can recover
after birth."

There’s only one
opportunity to save your baby’s stem cells for the future...
As an expectant parent, your baby’s health means everything.
Right now, he or she is protected in the womb and will soon enter the world.
There is a lot to think about and prepare for, but an invaluable step you can
take when your child is born is to preserve his/her stem-cell rich cord and
placenta blood The ability of stem cells to save lives via cord blood banking
has proven successful for replacing abnormal or diseased cells, and treating
life-threatening blood disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. In fact, since 1988 stem cell transplants
have been used to treat some 80 diseases.[link

uses for stem cells derived from the umbilical cord or
placenta tissue. Possible therapeutic applications are in early research stages
and LifebankUSA's parent company is actively involved in their development.
LifebankUSA will store the placenta tissue for you as part
of our complete banking package using our cryogenic tanks for long-term preservation.
In the event your baby's tissue cells are ever needed for future therapies, the
tissue may then be processed and cultured using available technology at that
time.† Tissue banking is just one more
layer of protection and peace of mind offered by LifebankUSA.
*Storage fees apply after the first year
†Clients will be responsible for the cost of shipping the
tissue and any culturing or expansion of the cells.
