Did you know that 3 out of 4 child safety seats are installed incorrectly? This means that you are increasing your child’s chances of getting seriously hurt even in a minor traffic accident. When Shaun was born we took the infant base to a local Car Seat Inspection Center to make sure it was done properly and also to watch how to do it properly. Since then we have been diligent about getting our kids top-rated seats as well as installing them correctly.
LATCH (lower anchors and tethers for children) was developed to make installing child safety seats easier but using the vehicle’s seat belt system is equally safe. The most important thing is to be sure no matter what method you use make sure it is used correctly.
