Car Seat Safety Tips
The best way to keep your child safe is to use the right car seat, the right way.
Here are some safety tips to ensure your most precious cargo is safely secured.
Buying the right seat: California law requires your child be in a rear-facing car seat until at least two years old. Best practice is to keep your child rear-facing as long as possible, based on the car seat weight/height limits. When your child has outgrown their rear facing seat, you are ready for a forward-facing seat. Get more details on buying the right seat for your child.
Installing the seat: You'll need to decide what type of system you will use when installing your car seat. You can choose either the seat belt, or the lower anchors to secure the seat. Both are safe, but unless specifically called for in your car seat manual, do not use both. It is important to use the tether in your child's forward facing car set. Get more information about installing your car seat.
Getting the right fit: A properly-fitted harness gives your child the best possible protection. Here is some more information on getting the right fit for your child.
