The holidays are almost here and that means many families are getting ready to hit the road or skies for family trips! Parents often wonder how to better install car seats in their own cars, as well as when traveling in rentals cars, taxis and planes.
Last week, we held a very important teleclass, generously sponsored by Britax and expertly presented by safety expert Sarah Tilton.
Sarah covered such topics as
- Car seat safety in your own car as well as rental cars and more
- General car seat safety (weight requirements, forward facing vs. Rear, booster seats and more).
- Most common mistakes and misconceptions concerning car seats
- Riding safely with babies/children in taxi cabs and buses
- Traveling on airplanes (lap vs. Seats, which car seats are FAA approved, ways to helps with ear pain)
