One brand I can always count on for safety is Safety 1st. and when it comes to car seats I know safety is always #1. It’s Child Passenger Safety Week and I’m making sure that my kiddos seats are all adjusted to their current heights, etc. and double checking all of our seats just to be sure we are safe. I think as a parent it’s so easy to get busy and forget to do small things like readjust the seats and buckles. I know my children grow like weeds the older they are getting so I try to stay current with it for safety.
With my girls getting older and now one of them in a booster seat I always want to be sure they are still safe. The BoostAPak Belt-Positioning Booster Car Seat is the booster both parents and kids will love. This 2-in-1 sensation is a booster seat that doubles as a backpack.
Kids have the convenience of a travel bag and can use it to stay safer when switching from one car pool in the morning to a different one on the way home. The compact size fits easily into an airplane overhead bin making it ideal for family trips too. The belt positioning makes sure your child’s seat belt is in the right place and your child is safe and secure.
There are some other things you can do to be sure your kiddos are safe. Check out this Child Passenger Safety Video:

We live in Colorado, so we are diligent about the No Coats In The Carseat Rule! It gets SUPER cold here in the winter but it’s ridiculous how unsafe it is to buckle a child in with their coats on. It’s just not worth it.
We have ours checked by our local fire dept. No coats!
We make sure the buckles are working properly and when we are driving they’re to be sitting and buckled!
I take coats off my kids in the carseats and make sure the top latch of the 3-point harness is at their armpits.
I did the rear facing as long as possible since it’s the safest.
We did extended rear-facing and have used five-point harnesses as long as possible.
