I am very passionate about car seat safety, and wanted to share some info for anyone who may not know. If I’ve missed anything please feel free to add it in the comments. (Some of this is specific to the United States, and as far as I know Canada follows all the same rules. If you live somewhere else feel free to still share just note what country on your comment).

Only use LATCH in the designated seat. Do NOT borrow anchors from adjacent seats.

“Clicking” your car seat on to a shopping cart (or anything other than the designated base or travel system stroller) can also damage the car seat locking mechanism, potentially causing it to fail in an accident.
