Did you know that 60% of car seats are installed incorrectly? In an effort to help educate and remind the public of proper installation, Tricounty Health Department is offering tips. Once a child seat is installed, the seat should not move at the belt path more than one inch from side to side or back to front. Use the car seat until your child reaches the top height or weight allowed by the manufacturer. Seat belts are the single most effective traffic safety device for preventing death and injury in motor vehicle crashes.
