Seat Belt & Lower Anchor Connectors
✅ Use one OR the other (with the exception of the Nuna Pipa series and the Clek Foonf forward-facing, which allows both).
Belt Path
✅ Route the vehicle seat belt or lower anchor connector strap through the proper belt path for the direction the seat is facing. Most car seats have a separate rear and forward-facing belt path.
Top Tether
✅ If you have a forward-facing harnessed rider - USE THE TOP TETHER! Ensure your seat is in an approved vehicle seating position with a designated tether anchor and connected to the correct location.

🌡️ Any time we cover the baby’s seat or stroller you are trapping in that hot air. And I’ve proven that yet again with this experiment. Heatstroke begins when the core body temperature reaches about 104. Temperatures of 107°+ can be fatal to children.
So how should you keep your littlest one cool?
✅ Avoid direct sunlight
✅ Dress them in lightweight clothing
✅ Use sunscreen when age appropriate
✅ Add a stroller fan (when out of the car)
✅ Remove your baby from their car seat ASAP

I hope it never happens. I hope you, me and all of us are never trapped inside a car threatened by rising flood waters. The reality is though, it will happen to some of us, so let’s be prepared. #ad
The @resqme inc escape tool is one I hope none of us ever have to use AND everyone should have. It will quite literally save your life.
It easily cuts through seatbelt or harness straps and quickly breaks tempered glass. Store your Resqme on your visor, key ring or rearview mirror for easy access if you find yourself trapped in a car due to fire, water, a rollover, or some other terrible circumstance where you are fighting for your lives to get out.

🌡️🥵 Temperatures are rising and while you may be tempted to completely cover your child to protect them from the sun, you would be doing more harm than good.
Placing a blanket or cover over the top of the car seat can create a “greenhouse effect”, limiting airflow and causing temperatures to rise to dangerous levels.
☀️Heatstroke begins when the core body temperature reaches about 104°.
☀️A child can die when their body temperature reaches 107°.
I put 4 common ways we see car seats covered to the temperature test in full sun on an 87° day. All of the covered options were over 107° after 30 minutes. 😳
This is all the more reason to limit your baby’s time in their car seat when outside of the car. Plus, when their seat is covered, you no longer have a line of sight to your baby and that is a must when out and about.
Did these results surprise you?

Transitioning from a harness to a seat belt is a really big milestone. It requires expectations, practice, and lots of reminders at first (sometimes always).
▶️ In a harness seat, you, the caregiver have the power.
▶️ In a booster seat, your child is in charge of their own safety. Treat that with the level of responsibility, it rightfully deserves—from them and from you!

The time has come. You’ve maxed out one of the limits of your kiddo’s rear-facing seat and they are now ready to turn forward-facing. While I’m using the Graco Extend2Fit 2-in-1 here, these steps are applicable to all.

If it’s a rethread harness (you manually rethread the shoulder harness straps) then it’s most likely that the harness is a continuous loop and just needs to be evened out.
If you have a car seat with a no-rethread harness (you adjust the height of the harness straps by raising and lowering the headrest), then sometimes you need to “reset” them and this little trick can help!
Will you please share and tag a friend who may need this trick in their “I will not lose my sh$& in the middle of of this parking lot” toolbox”?! 💕💪🏻
No car seats were damaged in the making of this TT. 😉

Unless your child has outgrown the limits of a forward-facing harnessed seat at 4 or younger then they should not be in a booster. Maturity plays a huge role in booster readiness.
If you have a child under 5 years who has outgrown their harnessed seat (Typically 49" and 65 lbs.) look into a harnessed seat with a higher height limit like Chicco MyFit (54"). Another option in the US is the Ride Safer Travel Vest with top tether. The next best option (or your best option if in Canada) is a high back booster with a lap belt guide like UppaBaby Alta or Britax HighPoint. #carseatsafety #safeintheseat #booster #boosterseat

🚩 Red flag alert! This thing is NOT SAFE! 🚩
You may have seen this or a similar product floating around social media. I’m here to tell you to please NEVER use this type of product for your child.
🚩 It passes ZERO crash tests.
🚩 During a crash, it will break completely apart leaving a child to be totally unrestrained.
🚩 The fit of the product positions the seat belt to be directly on a child’s abdomen which will cause serious internal injury in a crash.
