Baby Car Seat Common Mistakes

So brand-new parents Will and Kate are being given some trouble
this week from the media about having newborn baby Prince George
strapped in incorrectly to his child car seat.

 

Let's just consider this a learning experience for all new parents,
that I'm sure everyone can benefit from.

 

Here are some things to look out for in the future...

 

 

1. Keeping a baby wrapped in a blanket does not
secure the newborn safely into his/her car seat harness.
If parents need to use a blanket, it should go over 
the car seat straps, and not under.

2. Make sure those seatbelts are snug on the baby.
The picture of baby George's seatbelt looked a little too roomy.

3. Children should be facing backwards in their child car seat
in the back seat, up until 2 years old. Airbags in the front seats
are too dangerous for babies.

On that note, things have really come a long way since Prince William was born.  Princess Diana carried him into the car in her arms for the drive home back in 1982.

 

Safe driving!
