Certain forms of misuse by the prior owner can compromise the materials that make up the car seat. If the car seat has been involved in a collision, parents should regard it as unsafe to continue using the safety restraint system. There are several reasons that parents should not rely on a used car seat, especially since they lack a thorough knowledge of the device's history. Myth #3 A child safety restraint system can provide a safe cost-savings option. Parents need to be aware of these issues when deciding between a seat belt or the LATCH system when installing a car seat. The LATCH system can fail when the combined weight of a child and child safety restraint exceeds 65 pounds.
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS ARE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED INSTALL
When parents install a car seat, they should check the fit to confirm it does not move either front to back or side to side more than an inch in any direction. The best installation method will firmly secure the car seat in place. The LATCH system is intended to provide an easy installation, but the convenience of simple installation is not the only consideration when selecting a car seat. Myth #2 Use of the latch system is always the best alternative. Since it can be difficult to keep track of when to make these adjustments, parents might want to visit a fitting station every six months. Once your child and the child safety restraint system reach 65 pounds, parents need to switch from the LATCH system to a seat belt. The back of the car seat also might need to be raised as your child's height and weight change. The straps might need to be adjusted to ensure a proper fit. Different guidelines apply regarding placement in the front seat as opposed to the back seat or forward facing and rear facing. The way a car seat is used must be changed as your child grows. Myth #1 Once a car seat has been installed you never need to reinstall the restraint system.
