Did you know 3 out 4 child safety seats are used INCORRECTLY???
It’s no wonder. Every brand seems to have it’s own unique installation and use guide with little in common with other child restraint systems. Then there’s the frustration of figuring out what to do with all those straps and hooks and buckles. Add in the emerging media reports about ineffective safety seats, I’m still struggling to keep it all straight three kids later! Thankfully my mini van has a built in booster seat for my four year old with a harness!
