Please please please buckle your precious cargo in their car seat correctly! It gives me chills seeing loose straps and/or the chest piece way too low.
You shouldn't be able to pinch any strap material up by baby's shoulders and the chest piece is supposed to be just that, on the upper chest.
We're having mixed emotions about the new car seat...is it just me or does it seem too loose on her stomach...the straps are tight on her shoulders and the chest clip is right up against her chest BUT the straps are about an inch from her tummy...is that ok ?
son getting out of car seat So a couple days ago my son started getting himself out of his car seat while we are on the road. He will be 2 years old May 27th. He pushes the chest clip all the way down and pulls his arms and shoulders out of the straps but is still buckled at the waist. Today he did it 4 times, we had to pull over every time. What do you guys do when they start doing this? My Britax came with these long rubber strap covers but I took them off a while ago when he was to small for them. Are they to stop him from pushing the chest clip down? I just want to know if these will help before I take it apart to put them back on.
Okay . My son has been dragging his chest strap down for the last two days . Has anyone else had this issue ? He’s literally so strong . How can i stop it or fix it or something? . I literally had to pull over 3 times in a 25 min car ride to fix it

Share pictures of you littles in their car seats for a CAR SEAT FIT CHECK 😊 I am a CPST (Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician) and would be more than happy to help you double check that your seat is fitting your little one correctly - proper strap placement, chest clip placement, strap tightness etc. plus any other questions you may have! You can also send me a private message if you prefer 🙂 Other helpful info would be if your child is rear facing or forward facing, their age/height/weight, and the name of the car seat you’re using. I’ll share first! My littlest is 18 months, 28lbs, and 30ish inches long. And she is sitting rear facing in a Diono Rainier. 😊 The straps are coming from below her shoulders, her chest clip is at nipple/arm pit level, there’s no slack in her harness, and there aren’t any aftermarket products attached to her straps or added to her car seat! ✅ 🙂 *please no bashing or mommy shaming for being “overprotective” or for any misuse you may see - it’s more common than you think 😉

I overheard someone once 'Oh no, we forgot the car seat. Eh, it's not far. I'll just hold the child in my arms.' ....No.
