How are you keeping your child(ren) safe in your car?
We have always trusted Britax carseats for our kids safety. They are simple to install and the safety ratings are consistently high!
That's scary that only 1 in 5 car seats is installed correctly! I know when my kids were little, I always had such a hard time getting the seat belt tight enough behind the car seat. It's great that you are helping to spread the word about such an important topic.
This is great information and a good reminder to make sure we are doing everything we can to keep our little ones safe while riding in the car.
Wow – these are some startling facts. This take me back to when my son had a medical emergency on a toll road in update NY. We didn't know what to do and we were in the middle of unfamiliar territory. Luckily we found a hospital but it taught us to always plan and know how to get help.
Carseat safety is one of my biggest things. It's not difficult to take steps to keep your child as safe as possible! Thanks for making sure everyone has knowledge of the facts!
Great information. The loose car seat is my biggest pet peeves! Tighten that sucker up – the seat should not be able to move once it's in. Thanks for sharing.
Car seat safety is so important. We use a britax 5 point harness even with a 4-5 year old. It gives me such comfort to know my little one is safe!
