Sponsored By: Cars.com
Car seat safety is a widely discussed topic these days. Most accidents arise from improper use of car seats and seat belts. The most common examples include:
Rear-Facing Car Seat:
Incorrect amount of recline in child’s car seat: Child is less than a year old and the car seat is not installed at the correct angle for the rear-facing position.
Forward-Facing Car Seat:
Loose car seat installation: Car seat can be moved front to back or side to side by more than one inch when pushed or pulled at the belt path.
Booster Seat:
Improper lap belt position: Lap belt is placed across the child’s abdomen/rib cage, instead of across the hips or upper thighs.

Yes! I remember! Then it became so complicated! I’m glad some fire departments and car dealerships will show you how to install them properly.
