DYK that over 80% of forward facing car seats are misused? Car seat safety may seem easier as your child gets older, but forward facing seats have the highest misuse rate! Consider getting your seat checked by a Child Passenger Safety Technician when your child turns around-and don’t forget the top tether! #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafety #childpassengersafetytok #carseat #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattok #carseattok #carseattiktoks #carseatinstall #carseatinstallation #carseateducation #toptether #carseatmisuse #carseatmistakes #forwardfacing #forwardfacingcarseat #convertiblecarseat #allinonecarseat #toddlers #preschoolers #kids #mom #dad #parents #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #momlife #dadlife #momtips #dadtips #ruralmom #ruralkids #countrykids #momsoftoddlers #momsofpreschoolers #buckleup

As a CPST, I assume that everyone is doing the best they can with the knowledge and skills they have at the time, and I strive to give folks the benefit of the doubt while providing education without shame or judgement. I encourage other CPSTs and advocates to be RESPECTFUL and POLITE when sharing information! That said, I also encourage parents and caregivers to be open to information: car seat advice isn’t usually meant to be an attack on your parenting or character! I know not everyone delivers information respectfully, and it can be hard to hear when you’ve made a mistake, but be open to information so you can do the best you can to protect your kids. That’s usually the other person’s goal, too! A polite informant and an open-minded parent can team up to keep kids safer! #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafetytok #carseat #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattiktoks #carseattok #carseateducation #carseatmisuse #carseatmistakes #rearfacing #rearfacingcarseat #forwardfacing #forwardfacingcarseat #boosterseat #highbackbooster #backlessbooster #carseatinstall #carseatinstallation #babies #toddlers #preschoolers #kids #mom #dad #parents #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #momlife #dadlife #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

This is something I have seen so many families struggle with, so I’m putting this out in the world: grandparents, it is not an insult to your parenting if your adult children ask you to do something differently than you did when they were little! We simply know more now, so things have changed! Listen and pay attention to the instructions that are given by your grandchild’s parents, and don’t take it personally. #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafetytechnician #childpassengersafety #childpassengersafetytok #carseat #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattok #carseattiktoks #carseateducation #carseatmistakes #carseatmisuse #rearfacing #rearfacingcarseat #forwardfacing #forwardfacingcarseat #boosterseat #boosterseatsafety #boostersareforbigkids #babies #toddlers #preschoolers #kids #mom #dad #parents #grandma #grandpa #grandparents #grandmasoftiktok #grandpasoftiktok #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #momlife #dadlife #grandchildren #buckleup

#CapCut If your car seat is not a Nuna Pipa, forward facing Clek Foonf, or Babyark, you must choose one method or the other to install your car seat! Always read and follow your car seat manual’s instructions. Using both the lower anchors and seatbelt at the same time on a car seat that doesn’t allow it can alter its performance im a crash, put too much pressure on certain parts of the shell, and disguise a loose installation. If you are having trouble getting a tight install, get help from a CPST! #cpst #cpstsoftiktok #childpassengersafetytech #childpassengersafety #childpassengersafetytok #childpassengersafetytechnician #carseat #carseatsafety #carseatsafetytok #carseattiktoks #carseattok #carseateducation #carseatmisuse #carseatinstall #carseatinstallation #rearfacing #rearfacingcarseat #forwardfacing #forwardfacingcarseat #babies #toddlers #preschoolers #kids #mom #dad #parents #momtok #dadtok #MomsofTikTok #dadsoftiktok #momlife #dadlife #firsttimemom #firsttimedad #buckleup
