Sitting Safely

12/13/2025

I never planned to become the “car seat friend”… but here’s why I did. ❤️
Two things I love most are helping others and being a mom. I found a way to marry those two passions into a mission I am passionate about: child passenger safety.

Every mom deserves to feel confident, informed, and supported.
Tell me — what’s your biggest car seat worry right now?

Here are five common myths and the risks they pose:
Myth: Turning Forward-Facing at 2 is Enough.
Risk: Turning a child forward before they meet height/weight limits for rear-facing increases head, neck, and spine injury risk in crashes; rear-facing protects better.
Myth: Used Car Seats Are Fine (No History/Expiration).
Risk: Hidden cracks from crashes or age degrade plastic; seats expire, so unknown history is a major hazard.
Myth: Expensive Seats Are Safest.
Risk: All seats meet safety standards; misuse is common, and a cheap seat used perfectly is safer than a pricey one installed wrong.
Myth: Using LATCH & Seatbelt Together Is Safer.
Risk: Most manufacturers forbid this; it can interfere and reduce safety; use either LATCH or the vehicle seatbelt as instructed.
Myth: Puffy Jackets & Blankets Are Fine for Fit.
Risk: Bulk creates slack in straps, preventing a snug fit; the chest clip ends up too low, compromising protection in a crash.
