FAQ that I haven’t addressed yet! Many parents wonder if it’s safe to leave part of a row folded in their vehicle next to a child in a car seat or booster. The answer: maybe, depending on your vehicle and circumstance! Ask these two questions: -What does my vehicle manual say about it? -What is going in the space next to the child? Many vehicle manufacturers do not allow you to leave part of the row folded because the seatback might not lock into that position, meaning it could bounce up and cause injury during a crash. Be especially aware of potential projectile risks coming from the cargo area! Always follow your manuals and err on the side of caution with projectiles. #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafety #childpassengersafetytok #carseat #carseatsafety #carseattok #carseattiktoks #carseatsafetytok #carseateducation #rearfacing #rearfacingcarseat #forwardfacing #forwardfacingcarseat #boosterseat #boosterseatsafety #highbackbooster #backlessbooster #babies #toddlers #preschoolers #kids #mom #dad #parents #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #momlife #dadlife #momtips #dadtips #buckleup

True story. We don’t get to choose our crashes and we can’t control other drivers. Car seats, booster seats, and seatbelts save lives. ✌🏻 #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafety #childpassengersafetytok #carseat #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattiktoks #carseattok #carseateducation #boosterseat #boosterseatsafety #boostersareforbigkids #babies #toddlers #preschoolers #kids #mom #dad #parents #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #buckleup

When you install a car seat with the vehicle seatbelt, the seatbelt must be locked to keep the car seat tightly coupled to the vehicle seat (unless the car seat has a built-in lockoff that replaces the need to lock the belt manually!). Vehicles 1996 and newer in the USA are required to have a way to lock the belts for car seat installation. In most vehicles, the seatbelt can be switched into locking mode by pulling the shoulder belt ALL THE WAY OUT until you cannot pull any more, then slowly feeding it back in. Then, when you tighten the seatbelt through the car seat, it does not loosen and keeps your installation tight. In some vehicles, the seatbelts are equipped with locking latch plates instead, where a mechanism in the buckle keeps only the lap portion of the seatbelt tight to secure the car seat. If pulling the shoulder belt all the way out does not lock your belts, check the vehicle manual to find out if you have locking (also called cinching) latch plates instead! Always read and follow your manual’s instructions and get help from a CPST if you have questions! #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafety #childpassengersafetytok #carseateducation #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattok #carseattok #carseattiktoks #rearfacing #rearfacingcarseat #forwardfacing #forwardfacingcarseat #babycarseat #convertiblecarseat #allinonecarseat #carseatinstall #carseatinstallation #carseatinstallmistakes #carseatmisuse #carseatmistakes #babies #toddlers #preschoolers #kids #mom #dad #parents #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #momlife #dadlife #firsttimemom #firsttimedad #buckleup

Replying to @Katie Clip pacifiers to clothing, not the harness straps! The teeth on the clip can damage the harness fibers, which can affect the harness’s performance in a crash. #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafety #childpassengersafetytok #carseateducation #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattok #carseattiktoks #babycarseat #infantcarseat #convertiblecarseat #allinonecarseat #newborns #babies #babysafety #rearfacing #rearfacingcarseat #mom #dad #parents #newmom #newdad #momtok #dadtok #firsttimemom #firsttimedad #buckleup

If one of your harness straps is tighter or looser than the other, here are 3 things to try! If none of these tips resolves the problem, contact the car seat’s manufacturer for guidance. #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafety #childpassengersafetytok #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattiktoks #carseattok #rearfacing #rearfacingcarseat #forwardfacing #forwardfacingcarseat #carseateducation #babycarseat #infantcarseat #convertiblecarseat #allinonecarseat #combinationcarseat #carseatharness #babies #toddlers #preschoolers #kids #mom #dad #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #momlife #dadlife #momtips #dadtips #firsttimemom #firsttimedad #buckleup

BE SURE TO FOLLOW MY OTHER PLATFORMS! ❤️ For real, while I do have a ton of car seat info stored in my brain, I genuinely don’t know every single thing about every single seat! Nobody could possibly know all of that by themselves. Sometimes it feels weird to be referred to as an “expert” because I am still constantly learning as the child passenger safety field evolves. Knowing how to find the info I need and having other CPSTs to bounce thoughts with helps a lot! Remember, you don’t need to be an expert in every car seat, just your own seat! Read and follow your car seat and vehicle manuals and if you’re a visual learner, seek out additional support in the form of hands-on help or videos. #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafety #childpassengersafetytok #carseat #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattiktoks #carseattok #boosterseat #boosterseatsafety #boostersareforbigkids #rearfacing #rearfacingcarseat #forwardfacing #forwardfacingcarseat #carseateducation #carseatinstall #carseatmistakes #babies #toddlers #preschoolers #kids #mom #dad #parents #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #buckleup

Replying to @Emily Roberts Here is where that snap goes, instead of looking for another metal half of the snap, it goes straight into the plastic on the shell! Graco has several seats that do that, it’s a little odd, but hope this helps! #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #carseat #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattiktoks #carseattok #carseateducation

Do backless booster riders still have protection from side impacts? Yes, from the vehicle safety features like side airbags! One of the benefits to booster use (aside from safe belt positioning!) is the fact that it raises kids to be closer to adult height, allowing them to benefit from those side airbags that were designed to protect adults. Cool, huh? Remember to keep kids in a booster seat until the vehicle seatbelt fits safely by passing the 5-Step Test shown at the end of the video! Most kids need one until 10-12 years old. #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafety #childpassengersafetytok #boosterseat #boosterseatsafety #highbackbooster #backlessbooster #boostersareforbigkids #seatbelt #airbag #carseat #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattok #carseattiktoks #carseateducation #kids #kidsafety #mom #dad #parents #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #momlife #dadlife #moms #dads #firsttimemom #firsttimedad #buckleup

How do I know when it’s time to switch my baby from an infant carrier to a convertible or all-in-one car seat? You can switch either when the carrier is outgrown (watch their head space!) OR when they get a proper harness fit in the larger car seat and you’re ready to be done hauling the carrier. Both are safe options as long as the seat is used correctly! #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafety #childpassengersafetytok #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattiktoks #carseattok #rearfacing #rearfacingcarseat #carseateducation #infantcarseat #babycarseat #convertiblecarseat #allinonecarseat #carseatupgrade #bigboycarseat #biggirlcarseat #babies #toddlers #mom #dad #parents #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #momlife #dadlife #momtok #dadtok #firsttimemom #firsttimedad #newmom #newdad #mommytobe #daddytobe #buckleup

Big kids and even tweens still need their parents to help protect them in the car by enforcing booster use until the adult-sized seatbelt fits them correctly! Kids who stop using a booster before the belt fits properly are at serious risk for internal organ and spinal injury during a car crash. Most kids do need a booster until 10-12 years old, even though a state’s legal minimum age may be lower. #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafety #carseateducation #boosterseat #boosterseatsafety #boostersareforbigkids #highbackbooster #backlessbooster #carseatsafety #carseatsafeytok #carseattok #carseattiktoks #seatbelt #seatbeltsafety #kids #kidsafety #bigkids #elementaryschoolers #carpool #mom #dad #parents #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #momlife #dadlife #momtips #dadtips #firsttimemom #firsttimedad #ruralmom #ruralkids #countrykids #buckleup
