Buckle up!

Car seats.... We know we need them, but choosing the right one can lead you down a maze of designs, features, and price ranges that leave you confused and overwhelmed. How do you know which one is the right seat for your child's size and your car's design. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has a new system called Ease-of-Use ratings to help us out. All car seats rated by NHTSA meet Federal Safety Standards & strict crash performance standards. While all rated seats are safe, they do differ in their ease of use. You can read more about their rating system here. You can also find local car seat inspection sites there, where they will inspect the installation of the seat for free. Remember to buckle up for safety; it could save your life!
