Resource Guides to Properly Choose, Install and Inspect Your Car Seat

Navigating your way through the world of car seats can be difficult. However, there are many excellent resources to aid you in your search for the perfect seat and installation.

According to Safe Kids worldwide, car crashes are the #1 killer of children ages 3-14. The major cause of these deaths, along with hundreds of injuries, is improper car seat use. This can mean that the child is in the wrong seat or that the seat is not installed properly. In the US as many as 80% of car seats are not being used correctly. If this number was reduced, countless lives could be saved.

Some of the most common mistakes made when installing a car seat are:

  • Having harness straps too loose or in the wrong position
  • Having a harness chest clip in the wrong position
  • Not locking the seat belt properly
  • Not securing the car seat correctly by using the incorrect seat belt path or not making the belt tight enough
  • Placing an infant seat in the path of an airbag
