Simple Car Seat Mistakes That Could Have Deadly Consequences

Typically You Shouldn’t Use LATCH in the Center of a Vehicle

Unless explicitly stated by the car seat manufacturer, you should not use the LATCH system in the center rear position of your vehicle. Most vehicles do not support this setup for safety reasons.

Always check the vehicle owner’s manual to determine if a center seat LATCH system is allowed. Don’t rely just on your car seat’s manual to provide these important safety guidelines.

It might sound like a no-brainer, but don’t forget to tighten the harness straps. It could save your child’s life.
