The fine people at Buckle Up For Life have rolled out an updated list of the Top Thanksgiving Car Seat Tips.<\/p>\n

Pinch Test<\/h3>\n

One easy way to test out if your child’s car seat is tight enough is to use the “Inch and Pinch” test. This simple test is easy to perform; simply pinch the strap of the car seat near your child’s shoulders. Grab a pinch of fabric, then tighten the strap until you’re sure it is snug. Then, grab the car seat near the bottom and gently pull the seat to ensure it is secure. If your child’s car seat is moving more than an inch, then you should tighten it.<\/p>\n

Secure Items<\/h3>\n

One overlooked safety tip involves securing items that you’ll be storing during travel. People often fail to secure items like luggage, gifts, turkeys, and more. In the event of an accident, many of these items could become hazardous to passengers inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Face the Right Direction<\/h3>\n

Always make to sure that your child’s car seat faces the correct direction for their age group. Children under the age of two should remain in rear-facing child seats or until they exceed weight and height capacity.<\/p>\n

Remove the Coat<\/h3>\n

Many parents forget to remove their children’s heavy winter coats when buckling them in their car seats. If your child is wearing a heavy coat, make sure to remove it so the harnesses and safety belts fit as intended.<\/p>\n

Avoid Rental Car Seats<\/h3>\n

Avoiding car seat rental is one of the travel tips from Buckle Up for Life that encourages travelers to take advantage of free safety seat checks from airlines. If you need to travel, call your airline ahead of time and inquire about their specific policies on checking a car seat for your child.<\/p>\n
