GLOW!!! Make a post about car seat safety!?!
I love how Glow will occasionally make pinned informational posts. I think it'd be really important and super helpful to post about car seat safety! I hope this request gets to you... Mamas need to know how to ensure their babe's safety, because not all of it is "common sense." For example:
1) shoulder straps should be at or below baby's shoulders when rear facing. And at or above shoulders for forward facing.
2) babies should be rear facing at least until two years old due to the anatomy of their bodies and bones, and ability to take an impact
3) it's totally ok (and comfortable) for their legs to be crossed or bent whenrear facing!!
4) do not use after market parts, like padding or strap covers that did no come with the car seat or from the same manufacturer
5) the top of the chest clip should be even with armpits
6) use the pinch test to make sure the straps are tight enough but not over tightened
7) no nightgowns, sleep sacks, swaddles, baggy fabric, or coats while in the car seat!! The material will compress and create extra room, which can very well cause baby to eject from the car seat during a crash.
