Be sure to always have your car seats inspected whether it be a brand-new seat, or newly installed seat in a different vehicle. Having your car seat inspected properly, could help save a child's life in an auto accident.
While
installing and using child safety seats may appear to be easy enough,
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
has estimated that close to 3 out of 4 parents do not properly use
child restraints ... and if you are one of them, that child safety seat
may not protect your child the way it should.
For
your loved one's sake, there is no room for compromise!
It is estimated that
about 80% of car seats are misused, either because a child is in the
wrong seat, the seat is installed wrong, or the child is not placed in
the seat correctly. (about.com)
