Keep your sweet little ones safe: Don't let car seat errors spoil your travel plans. The "sweet spot" for car seat safety is making sure your child is in the correct seat for his/her age, weight, height and developmental level. Make sure the seat is installed correctly, with less than one inch of movement at the belt path and following the instructions in the manual. Still have questions?
