Let’s Take This Listing Down!

The only thing you need to keep your bump and yourself safe in a vehicle as a pregnant person is a properly worn seat belt.

Pregnancy seat belt adjusters are unregulated and unsafe - they can actually cause more injuries!

Take 20 seconds to report this third party item on Target.com and let’s get it removed from their website 💪

Should I Get It?

Can you ever really have enough car seats? 😉

Loved this trend but didn’t want my husband to throw car seats at me 😂

How many car seats do you have?

What’s In My Bag?

Our seat check event season starts this weekend so I cleaned out and reorganized my bag to get ready!

Did any of my seat check supplies surprise you?

If you’re a CPST, is there anything you pack that I missed?

Stop Searching For “The Safest” Car Seat!

Trying to find “the safest” car seat will only drive you crazy.

Instead, focus on finding a car seat that fits your child, fits your vehicle, fits your budget, and that you can use correctly for every single ride.

Spend time on reading your manual and learning how to use your car seat correctly instead!

Switching From Rear To Forward Facing

When is your child ready to forward face?
The AAP recommends keeping children rear facing as long as possible (until they reach the max rear facing height OR weight of their convertible/all-in-one car seat).
As a CPST, I love to see kids rear facing at least until 2, but longer if they can.

Remember: Car seat safety isn’t black and white! It’s all about Good - Better - Best.

If you are following your state law and the car seat’s forward facing requirements, you are doing Good!

Learn What Car Seat Features Do!

When you understand how car seat features work, you can decide which ones are nice to have, must have, or not something you need.

REMEMBER: You don’t need a car seat with every single safety feature. The most important thing is that it fits your child, fits your vehicle, and you use it correctly.

Did you know what all of these were? Which ones do you want to learn more about?

No Bulky Costumes In Car Seats!

Keep your kiddos safe this year by waiting to put on their costumes until after you arrive at the Halloween party/event/trick-or-treating location. The bulky materials of a costume will compress under the harness, creating space for the child’s body to move up and out of the harness during a crash.

I know it’s extra work to put them in costume when you arrive and then remember to take them out of their costume before you head home, but safety is number one - even on Halloween!

What costume is your kiddo wearing this year? How long do you think they will actually keep it on?⠀

Happy Halloween from Buckle & Latch!
