Every parent wants to keep their child safe in the car, but there is so much to learn about car seats.
Mommybites was lucky to have Greg Durocher, the Founder and CEO of Safe Ride 4 Kids, speak to us about some of the most important facts.
There are 4 stages of car seat safety, specifically:
Greg moved on to cover the differences and correct usage for infant car seats, booster seats and steps for when children grow out of car seats. He addressed common car seat mistakes – and trust me, there are A LOT of them – including loose harness straps, not using the seat belt or LATCH correctly, or transitioning children to the next stage prematurely.
In case you missed this important Momcast, you can listen to the re-play of the Momcast here.
