*TOP 8 Mistakes made installing a car seat*
1. Seat too loose in the car
Remember: from the belt path you should not be able to move the car seat from
side to side more than one inch; booster seats are excluded from this rule!
2. Harness straps are too loose on the child
Remember: in a crash the straps will not lock, like an adult seatbelt does
3. Children turned to face-forward too soon
Remember: the minimum standard is One year old AND twenty pounds. The
safest way to ride is rear facing so why turn them around too soon?
4. Rear-facing car seat is not at a 45°angle
Remember: small children do not have neck and muscle control or strength.
5. Positioning the retainer clip too low on child
Remember: the chest clip needs to be at the armpit level (on the hard bony rib
cage NOT on the soft tissue stomach)
6. Harness straps through the wrong slots
Remember: rear facing at or below and forward facing at or above
7. Not using a booster seat
Remember: seat belts are made for adults not children. The booster seat will give
them the boost needed to ensure the adult seatbelt fits the child in the correct
position.
8. Using a car seat that has been recalled
(mail the registration card in!)
