Car Seat Safety

I would like to pass on some life saving information. I know that parents are eager for their little ones to reach milestones. Turning the car seat forward is NOT a milestone you want your little one to hit. Even if they are at or past the recommended 1 year old and 20 pound point, it is still safer to keep your little one in a rear facing car seat as long as possible.

Also I encourage parents and caregivers to have their car seat professionally installed or checked to make sure it is secure. Experts say four out of five car seats are installed incorrectly. Check the link out below for your local office to have your car seat checked out.
