September is National Baby Safety Month!  You should take this month to remind yourself how important the safety of your baby really is.  This is a good reminder to make sure you are following these precautions to keep your bundle of joy as safe as possible. 

Keeping your infant or toddler safe in  your car begins with car seat safety.  Keep your child safe by ensuring the correct use of the right car seat every time.  Be certain that everyone is buckled in, including adults.  Children should never ride in front of an air bag, whether they are in a car seat or not.  If they are in a car seat they should be in the back and rear facing, until they are at least 2 years-old.  Most car seats are designed to remain rear facing until 30 pounds or more.

5 Tips To Help You Choose the Right Car Seat!

Are you traveling with small children in your car? Are you having trouble finding the perfect car seat? We're here to help!

Budget – All car seats have to pass the same set of safety tests. Check your other needs to help you determine a budget for your next car seat.

Age & Size of your child – Check to see what seats are best for the age and size of your child. Make sure to follow the age requirements over size. Your child might need to be in a rear facing seat for longer than you though!

Determine the needs of your seat – Will the seat be moved from car to car, or will it stay put? If you need to swap cars every day, don’t purchase a seat that takes a half hour to set up.

How long will you need a seat to last? – Are you on a budget? Does this seat have to last for years? Depending on your situation, you may be able to purchase multiple seats, as your child grows, or choose one that will last a while.

Will you use it properly? – Making sure a car seat is properly installed is of the upmost importance! You need to know how to install and use your car seat properly for the safety of your child.
