In colder weather, parents typically dress their children in winter coats, but it is crucial to recognize that heavy coats can compromise the proper harness fit on a child in a car seat.
When securing your child in a car seat, select thin, warm layers and position blankets or coats around your child after ensuring the harness is snug and secure for added warmth. Additionally, ensure that car and booster seats are correctly installed and that children riding with you occupy the correct seat for their age and size.
Reminder: Most police and sheriff departments have trained car seat technicians who can assist with car seat installations or address questions about car seat safety. Call your local law enforcement for information. See below for proper seating:
