Just a refresher.... https://csftl.org/car-seat-basics/

My hospital doesn't even check if the seat is installed, they just check to see of it's an age appropriate seat 😬

When we left the NICU with #2, the nurse WAS a CPST and she said she couldn't give us a word of advice as it was against hospital policy.

The top tether keeps the head from going forward as much as 5 inches when in a crash. So please use the top tether when forward facing!

@nerdymommyplus2 I had no idea about tethers until we went to a convertible with #2. He still rearfaced for years, but sure as shit I researched what it was. And when we bought a new car I researched how many and proper placement.

Alot of people think it's part of the lower anchors and won't use it when using the seat belt but that's not the case.

I should also add a lot of people need to remember you need to be able to slide a piece of paper between your seats (between each carseats and the carseat and seat). My daughter doesn't fit rearfacing in our blazer because the seat touches the passenger seat (it's moved as much as it can)

Please do

I had no idea how to install the carseat 🙃 my husband did it and put our son in. Neither of us knew about after product items being unsafe though, and thanks to bb I learned that and took the head rest that was gifted to us out.

i also had no idea about after manufacturer items being unsafe til i took the class while working in daycare

Don't mind it being dirty we don't use the 3rd row much. Is this wjat your talking about. If so my town and country has 2 in the back

@momof3cuties, those look like the latches for the latch system they are different then the form the hook behind the seat for the tethers

That's why that one was knocked off our list. But I'll tell you, we got the Sienna and when we forward faced #2 we had huge issues. The headrest was interfering with a proper install, but per Toyota they couldn't be removed if there was a passenger. We had to get a new seat and took forever to find on that worked.

You have to remember to check your carseat manual AND your car manual.

Idk I figured she just blocked me. Hope they never have an accident, poor baby. This is just a friendly reminder though. Nothing to do with anyone in specific

Thanks. Saved to my notes to read later. On the run baseball season has started today

I think I should probably save it too. In case they delete her account.
