Legs Up? Leave It Up!
Please do not recline your vehicle seatback to make legroom for a rearfacing car seat! The seat has been crash tested with an upright seatback, so reclining the seatback may alter its performance.

Booster Seats And Sleep: How To Prevent Sideways Slump!
zhlédnutí 339Před 14 dny
When kids fall asleep in a booster, they still need to stay upright in their booster! Avoid products like these surround pillows-here’s why, and how to keep them safely upright instead! -Consider putting them back into a highback booster seat, which provides head and torso support. -Teach them to look up when sleepy so that their head falls straight back onto the vehicle head restraint and thei...

Here’s how to fit a newborn or small infant in a Safety 1st Grow and Go car seat using the separate lower harness slots! PLEASE read and follow your specific seat’s manual for instructions on the pads and inserts: the seat shown here is the most current version as of 2024, but previous versions may have different rules for the pads and inserts.

Are you making this mistake with your baby’s car seat? For younger, smaller babies especially, make sure the harness pads are on top of the shoulders and not preventing the chest clip from sitting at armpit level! Remember: only use pads that came with your car seat, not aftermarket pads that have not been crash tested with it! Always read and follow your car seat manual’s instructions for pad ...

Car Seats In The Center: May Not Be Able To Use LATCH!
zhlédnutí 530Před měsícem
In order to “borrow” the inner LATCH anchors from the outboard seats to install a car seat in the center, both the car seat AND the vehicle manufacturer must allow it! If one or the other says no (or you’re unsure), install with the seatbelt in the center instead.

Why Not Both?
zhlédnutí 59Před měsícem
Install your car seat using the lower LATCH anchors OR the vehicle seatbelt, not both! Only 3 exceptions currently exist in the USA: -Nuna Pipa (all models) -Clek Foonf (only when forward facing) -BabyArk If it’s not one of those three, use one or the other! Reminders: -Follow the weight limit for using the lower LATCH anchors on your seat -If your seat is forward facing, DO use the top tether ...
Car Seats Are Not For Boats!
zhlédnutí 2KPřed měsícem
Many parents carry their babies onto the family pontoon boat in their infant car seat because they’re just thinking of somewhere to set baby down during their day on the water. This is actually very dangerous, because a car seat will fill with water and sink (with baby in it) during a boating accident! Leave the car seat in the car and make sure all babies and children are wearing a Coast Guard...

Convertible Car Seats For Newborns: What Hospital Staff Need To Know
Thank you! This was so helpful and clearly explained
Omg.. thank you!!! It’s 100 degrees outside and I could not get that strap to loosen to save my life! Your technique worked great!
The belt path on the bottom is supposed to be across her lap (across her legs). Also you're not suppose to lock the belt. Please don't advertise and give incorrect and potentially dangerous information.
Hi there! As a CPST I would not dream of giving unsafe or incorrect information. The vest is across her lap for most of the video (except the part where I am demonstrating to caregivers what NOT to do with it), and the manufacturer of the vest actually does permit the seatbelt to be locked if desired! Locking the belt is optional, but can be beneficial for some children who have a hard time staying in place.
@countrykidscarseatsafety I was watching your video to make sure I was doing it right and somehow this comment went on your video instead of the one it was meant for where she was doing it completely wrong. Sorry about that! Thanks for the video and the work you do!
Hi Emily! Thanks for the tips
Ty
Was doing this for my cousins when I was 10 or 11 years old
Made easy? This is just common sense lol
Not everyone has great spatial awareness, and the car seat manuals don’t always describe it well. If you get it naturally, good for you, but that doesn’t mean it’s common sense to everyone’s brain.
Thank you
Points to the lady for figuring this out. Happened to me this morning and I thought my car seat was done for. We bought this for our xmas present to ourselves, so only lasting 6 months would have pissed me off 😂
Honestly this can happen to almost any harnessed seat! If it’s coming loose that’s almost always the cause, something stuck in that lever.
@@countrykidscarseatsafety we appreciate your video. Thank you
I very much disagree with this. There have been reports of dangers happening even when they know how to hold their head up. My son is two, has low muscle tone due to health issue. For him, I do not believe it's safe for him to be in head slump position.
That’s a perfectly valid concern when there is a medical need like that to consider, but for a child without any special medical needs that impact things like breathing and muscle control, it’s not a concern after they have good head control. If it were a concern after that age, we would have a ton of data to show that, because so many kids do sleep in the car with their heads in that position it would be happening often, but it simply isn’t because they can and do move their heads if needed, just like adults.
@@countrykidscarseatsafety thank you!
Thank you
One of the best videos that explains this feature thanks for sharing it
This did help me out today. Thank you
👍
I don’t see any pinned posts on your page. Am I missing it?
Sorry, this was originally posted to my TikTok, the pinned post is there
@@countrykidscarseatsafety I found it, thank you so much!!!
This needs to be everywhere I had never heard of it!
A loose harness is one of the top 3 car seat misuses! CPSTs are working hard to get the info out ❤️
I read before she talked, and thought something waayyy different
What about if it’s too high?
If it’s too high, a child may try to push it down or open it because they’re uncomfortable.
Do you have one on when to switch from convertible car seat to harness booster
Once a child is ready to forward face (at least age 2 or when rearfacing is outgrown for their convertible or all-in-one seat), the harnessed mode of a “harnessed booster” or “harness to booster” seat is an appropriate choice! There’s no safety difference to the child, a forward facing harness is a forward facing harness, whether it’s on a convertible, all-in-one, or harness-to-booster seat.
What is a cpst?
A Child Passenger Safety Technician is a professional who is trained and certified to provide car seat education and assistance.
THANK YOU!!!!! My truck manual had zero info on this!
This was so informative and helpful, thank you! We've been struggling with installing my kids seat into our dodge ram, because the nylon loop is too close to attach the car seat top tether onto. I had no idea you could use it to reroute the top tether onto the adjacent vehicle seat. Thank you!!
Very well done, thank you!
This is such useful information thank you!!
Perfect for my Ford Lightning!
The another concern is bottom seat belt in the car seat is too short , my son has a big thighs 😢
Which car seat is it? Have you moved the crotch buckle strap in both the pad AND the plastic shell underneath?
@@countrykidscarseatsafety thanks for answer me. I have the Graco Slim fit 3 in 1. Yes I moved the strap but it is still short 😢
Very helpful! Thanks a lot . I almost return my car seat and get the different one 😂
Thank you big help
Thank you! Great information
What if it’s still dogging in my child’s thighs at the highest setting?
What brand and model seat is it? How tall and heavy is the child?
@@countrykidscarseatsafety evenflo revolver 360 slim
@jubbsmarlin9390 how tall and heavy is the child? Have you moved the buckle strap in the slots in the shell, not just the padding?
I have moved the buckle in the actual seat itself. He is 31 inches tall and 25 pounds
@@jubbsmarlin9390 Do you still have the infant insert in the seat?
Thank you!
This is helpful, but what do you do if you have a carseat behind the driver seat & another in the middle? Route middle strap through the loop that's already connected to the seat behind the driver side?
Great question: each loop can be both a router and an anchor at the same time! So each loop can have a tether strap routed through it while also having another seat’s tether strap hooked onto it. If you have two forward facing seats in the outboard seats, they CAN both attach to the center loop, too!
@@countrykidscarseatsafety Great, thank you so much!
Can my 22 months old use this? I am going on vacation to Europe and I am in need of seatbelt for my toddler. Please help a sis out❤❤❤
Your child is not old enough to use this restraint! I would recommend finding a lightweight harnessed car seat to bring with you.
@@countrykidscarseatsafety thank you for taking time to reply to my comment. Do you have any car seat recommendation for 22 months old?
This video needs more views. My kids were saved by the car seats when my wife’s car was rear ended by a car going over 60mph in a 30. People need to make sure the seats are installed correctly. My kids had a few minor bruises and were shaken but they were fine. My wife received a cut on her arm but was otherwise fine.
Both my girls are still in high back boosters at 9 and 11 and totally love them! They love having their owne cupholders and secret compartments for snacks and toys! My husband and i dont want to move them to backless boosters, we figured it was best they stay in their high backs, mostly because of the extra side impact protection they offer and the headrest. Both my girls like to jump around in their seats especially when we're listening to taylor swift ( we all love taylor swift ) so they're staying in their highbacks and its working out great!
Thank you!!!
Thank you ! It's very helpful, God bless you.
Thank you so much lol
My parents told me i was missing a screw since I was a kid. Thank you for this video about myself.

Why do ya'll on Tiktok press a button 1,000 times?! It records for 10 minutes.
Maybe we stuttered, or lost our balance leaning into the car, or the dog barked, or the rooster crowed, or we had to pause to help our kids with something, so we can’t do one continuous take. Maybe we’re humans providing free of charge safety information to the public, so we don’t have access to professional editing. Maybe some thoughts need to stay inside our brains because they’re not kind or necessary. 😊
YAS!
Thank you so much. We’re borrowing my Dad’s pickup and the install is definitely different than our Tacoma (has the metal ring behind the seat). This was way easier than how the manual was written. Thanks again.
Well done thank you
Helped me! Thank you!
You’re awesome!
Clear and simple but and incredibly helpful. Thank you!!!
This video is GREAT! Clear and concise. Thank you!
Good information, thank you!
Thank you for this video! Would be safer to use booster seat with these vests for a 3yr old toddler or is it safer without a thing extra?
The ONLY booster that can be used with the RideSafer vest is the TravelSmarter booster from the same manufacturer: it cannot be used with any other booster whatsoever! It is optional, my biggest concern for the 3 year old is their maturity it sit correctly for the entire ride. There is more freedom of movement in the vest than in a harnessed seat, for a child that young I would advise a responsible adult to sit in the back with him to monitor him.
Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me out!
