Car Seat Install


That awkward moment when you go to a firehouse to have your car seat install double checked by a certified child safety seat technician and he mistakes the minimum FFing limit of 20 lbs for the maximum RFing limit of 40 lbs and tells you that you can only RF up to that limit (20 lbs) and you have to correct him and point out right where it says "Rear Face 5-40 lbs" >.>;

He was really impressed by what I knew about car seat safety as he would ask me questions about how things should be, etc. and I would answer them quickly and easily and he'd be impressed that I knew the right answer... :P

He did show me that our vehicle did in fact have LATCH capabilities that I managed to somehow not be able to find (Preggo brain much?) though so that made my day since I prefer LATCH over a lap belt and am so very glad our vehicle is able to do that. So goes to show you can ALWAYS learn something new. :D

  1. Placement of the Seat Car seats should be placed in the center rear seat, this is the safest position. The safest type of seat is one which faces to the rear of the vehicle. Also never place a car seat that faces to the rear in the front seat if it has a side airbag. Make sure it is firmly on the seat so that your baby does not flop around in the seat. After 12 months of age AND 20 lbs you should use a front facing seat, and still place it in the rear center seat.
