⭐Car Seat Safety Repost from Last Night ⭐

Ladies please please please learn your car seat safety. There are laws in place for a reason, to keep your child safe! This is long but it's damn important!!!

Common Mistakes:

-Wrong seat for the age and/or size of child (check out the page car seats for the littles on Facebook for a certified tech to assist in picking the right type of seat for your child based on age, height and weight. Most State government pages have the laws listed as well!)

-Improper placement of chest clip (At nipple level or even with the arm pits. Its a chest clip not a belly or clavicle clip)

-Straps not in the right place. (Rear facing the straps should come from below the shoulders or right at the shoulder never above. Forward facing which should not be done before 2 years of age, straps should come from above or right at the shoulder.)

-Strap tightness (you shouldn't be able to pinch extra strap material)

-Using items not approved for the seat. (Fancy covers, head rests and straps are not allowed per your car seat manual. In most cases unless it came WITH your seat or you literally ordered it from the manufacturer directly you can't use it with the seat, it will void warranty and possibly your insurance coverage!!)

-Forward facing too soon. (They should rear face until at least two and as long as their seat allows)

Keep your manual, register your seat and follow the laws and regulations set by the seat manufacturer, your car manufacturer and keep up with the new recommendations. Your child's life can be taken or saved in an accident based solely off car seat usage. Don't be ignorant to this subject! Learn Learn Learn!!!
