Car Seat Safety
Car Seat Do's and Don'ts
-
When using forward facing car seats use the top harness slots only. See
why!
-
Buckle yourself and your children everyday as if you knew that you were
going to be in a car crash. You can't trust the other driver no matter
how good of a driver "you" are. There are some things we can't protect
our children against. Why not protect them against the things we can protect
them against. Always correctly use a car seat or booster seat even on short
trips!
