While it is the law to keep children under a certain weight secured in a car seat, many parents choose a car seat that isn't the right fit for their child. This increases the risk of injury in the event of an accident. At Webber Family Motors in Detroit Lakes, MN, it is important to us that your children are safe, which is why we have provided you with some car seat tips below.
If your child is under the age of one, be sure they are in a rear-facing car seat. This is the safest type of car seat, and you should try to keep them rear-facing as long as possible. When your child reaches two, it may be time to transition him or her to a forward-faing car seat with a safety harness. Older children can ride in a booster seat that uses your vehicle's seat belt to keep them secure. However, never let the seat belt lay across your child's stomach or neck.
