‼️Did you spot the danger?
The answer: this little one is wearing a thick, puffy coat in their car seat.
It might seem harmless but bulky coats can make car seats far less effective in a crash. That extra padding means the harness isn’t snug against your child’s body, even if it looks tight.
Here’s a quick way to check if a coat is too bulky:
🔸Step 1: Buckle your child into their car seat with their coat on and tighten the straps.
🔸Step 2: Without loosening the straps, take your child out, remove the coat, then buckle them back in.
If you can pinch the strap between your fingers, the coat is too thick to be worn safely.
Instead:
Pop a blanket over them once they’re strapped in
Or use a car seat-safe cover to keep them cosy and protected
