Once you have the right car seat, you want to
make sure it is correctly installed in your
vehicle and faces the right direction.

Some newer cars come with car seat tie-down
straps and these should be used along with the
seat belt restraints as they keep the seat more
firmly in place.

If you are not sure how to install the car seat,
check in your vehicles owner manual or car
dealer for help.

Now that the seat is installed, you want to be
prepared your baby may cry and scream while you
are trying to buckle them into their car seat.
This does not mean there is anything wrong, they
are just voicing their objections to being
restrained.

While you want to make sure your baby is
comfortable, you also want to ensure they are
safely secured into their car seat. The straps
should fit between the legs and allow them to
freely move their legs.

11
The upper straps should go under their arms
and/or slightly below their shoulders without any
obstructions around their neck. They should also
be able to freely move their arms and hands.

12
The straps do need to be snug, but not overly
tight. You should be able to place your pointing
finger under the strap. If there is more space
than that, the straps need tightened.

Otherwise if they are left too loose your baby
could get tangled up in the straps, get out, or
worse, fly out of the car seat if you were to get
into an accident.

The car seat should also be placed into the car
at the right angle because your baby has not yet
developed full control over their neck to keep
their head in an upright position.

15
You may need to recline the vehicles seat
slightly so the car seat leans back. If you
notice your babys head is falling forward onto
their chest, this means you need to recline the
vehicles seat.

When buckling your baby into their car seat make
sure they are just in their clothes with no added
layers, like winter jackets or snowsuits.

These items can pinch your babys skin and body
when left on and buckled into the seat. Instead,
place them into the seat, then wrap a blanket
around the baby to keep them warm.
