Here’s a visual for you. My little girl is buckled into her car seat correctly. Her straps are over her shoulders, coming from below her shoulders, her CHEST clip is armpit level, and I can't pinch any slack above her shoulders. My little boy is buckled in incorrectly. His CHEST chip is between his belly button and chest, his straps are VERY loose. If we were to get into a car accident he would most likely be ejected from his car seat and flung forward.

If you do not feel confident to flip your child upside down in a 5 point harness, THEY ARE NOT STRAPPED IN CORRECTLY.

It is your obligation as a parent to make sure your tiny people are safe. It is not an opinion. It is an obligation.

And it is the law in Oklahoma to rear face your BABY till 2.

*** NOT MY POST**** just felt it was definitely worth sharing here🖤

Love this! Where I live the requirement goes by carseat. The child needs to be rear facing until they hit the max height or weight for rear facing carseat.

I shared more for the education on the straps than the position. I believe my state they can’t turn until the age of 2 now or they have to be so heavy but I don’t remember how heavy exactly I just know my daughter probably will be till two rather than weight cause she’s small still so I know she’s not ready.

@coffeebean I see so many people not put the straps on right it drives me crazy! One is a friend of mine, I've brought it up and nothing changes 😔. On the other note my boys are all huge! I can't imagine if I absolutely had to wait until Greyson was 2. At 2 he is the average height and weight of a 3 year old

@countrymusic_mama, lol exactly. Some kids grow faster so it’s until two unless they hit the requirements. My kids are all on the tiny side so I’m sure my youngest will be no different lol

@flamingfiremom, I believe where I’m at it’s the age of 2 or they have to weigh so much or something but I can’t remember how much. My daughter turned one in September and I’m definitely thinking she’s gonna be rear facing till two. I highly doubt she will hit the correct weight before that.

@flamingfiremom, I personally don’t mind just because I feel it’s safer so as long as she can, she will stay that way lol

son getting out of car seat

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.

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 😉
