Simple Car Seat Mistakes That Could Have Deadly Consequences

Placing a Newborn In a Non-Reclined Car Seat

Your child can not hold up their own head as a newborn and therefore must be placed in a car seat that is rear-facing and reclined. Check with your car seat manufacturer to ensure the seat you are choosing supports a newborn child.

You can purchase an infant-only car seat or choose an option that will convert as your child grows older.
