Car Seat safety continued...

A couple days ago, on the old blog, I wrote a post about the importance of a five point harness and the safety of extended-rear facing that included a heartbreaking video. I just want to add to that idea that no matter how safe your car seat is rated to be, if it is installed incorrectly or if it doesn't fit in your car like it should, it is still unsafe. There are many sites out there that will tell you which car seats are compatible with your car, including this one, CarSeat Compatibility Search. You also want to make sure you have your seat installed by a certified technician, often at your local fire department or police department. When buying a car seat, you should also be sure to try it out in your car before purchasing. Most stores will allow you to try the seat out first. If they don't, take your business to a store that will.
