If you know me, you knew this was coming! I'm CRAZY about car seat safety! I didn't use to be, because I didn't take the time to educate myself and the seriousness of keeping my children safe in the things they use the most.
I have this posted on Facebook, but the information is so great, I decided to just copy and paste it here.
Here are some basic tips on car seat safety... that every parent needs to know.
1) The straps should be flat, untwisted against the child's body. This disperses the force of the crash along their whole body and not just parts.
2) The chest clip is just that...a CHEST clip. It should be armpit level. It is not a belly clip. Having the clip too low can cause damage to the internal organs that are not protected by the soft tissue of the belly.
