One common miss we want to highlight today is the all important tether when forward facing. Whether you are using a seatbelt or the latch system. You should be using the top tether when your child’s seat is forward facing. Here is an illustration during a crash test showing why it is important.

If you need help installing your car seat. Give us a call today to make an appointment with one of our technicians.

THIS IS A COUNTERFEIT CAR SEAT

To an experienced parent, it might be more obvious that something is wrong, but to a new or expecting parent who’s maybe never touched a car seat before it may be more difficult to spot. This is a great reason to have your car seats inspected by a professional.

It’s very common for caregivers to not put their children in a booster seat after they graduate a car seat. This can be a careless mistake. Parents need to see to understand the benefits of keeping their children in boosters longer. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia created this simulation to show how a 35 mph collision would impact a child who is properly restrained in a booster compared to one who is using an adult seat belt.

While any restraint is better than none, a seat belt that doesn’t fit properly can cause a pattern of injury known as “Seat Belt Syndrome,” which can include...

This is why it’s so important to make sure your car seat is installed correctly.

THIS is why you buckle your kids into their car seats correctly every SINGLE time. Even when they scream because the straps are tight. Even when they complain about the chest clip or being rear facing. We stopped for milk on the way home from preschool yesterday. We were minutes from home. Someone sped through a red light and slammed into us. You never think it will happen to you. My boys escaped without a scratch but the paramedics told me it could have been very different had I not taken the extra 2 minutes to be sure they were buckled correctly. I will be fine, my kids are fine, everything else can be replaced. Sending thanks to God for keeping us safe (along with Honda, Graco & Chicco). -Jenna Casado Rabberman
