Safety Seat Installation: A Step-by-Step Guide
There is nothing more precious or valuable than a child's safety. That is why knowing the correct way to install a child's safety seat is of the utmost importance. Follow the step- by-step guide below to help you properly install your child's safety seat.
First, check the instructions. Installing a child's safety seat is serious business, so there is no room for guessing or errors. Always follow the instructions of the manual before proceeding forth with installation.
Next, check your seats. Children under the age of twelve should always be placed in the backseat. Many vehicles today have anchors embedded in the backseats for attaching to the base of a car seat. If you see these anchors, attach the car seat to the anchors as instructed in your manual. If there aren't any anchors, use the lap belt instead. Use the instructions as your guide.
Lastly, test the car seat for safety. A properly installed seat will move no more than 1-inch from side to side. Moreover, make sure that the car seat is fitted at the correct angle. There are usually indicators on the car seat to help with this.
