at my hospital they have buckle up

It breaks my heart when I see kids in their seats incorrectly. I was at Walmart the other day and there was a baby probably 3-4 months old and they had the straps in the highest slot and they were wayyyy above his shoulders, not snug at all and his chest clip was down to his belly and to top it off they had his seat on top of the cart which is a big no no 😩😩.

I know it’s so sad, it makes good parents look horrible because the car is so dangerous. And no amount of love will save that baby in an accident if it’s not strapped correctly.

Even a lot of Drs give bad advice! And because they are a Dr people just assume they are correct when they aren’t. They really should start putting graphics on the boxes or tags about proper car seat placement. It’s all in the manual but parents never read those!

Our hospital is they same way they tell us to check with the fire or police station and they will tell us how to put her in correctly.

They should be teaching this in the hospital upon discharge, and the Peds should be enforcing it, which they don’t. I couldn’t believe that no one checked our car seat when we were leaving. I looked everything up, and was positive he was in correctly, but I really wanted piece of mind, and they couldn’t tell me anything 😒.
