Not everyone has great spatial awareness, and the car seat manuals don’t always describe it well. If you get it naturally, good for you, but that doesn’t mean it’s common sense to everyone’s brain.

Honestly this can happen to almost any harnessed seat! If it’s coming loose that’s almost always the cause, something stuck in that lever.

@@countrykidscarseatsafety we appreciate your video. Thank you

That’s a perfectly valid concern when there is a medical need like that to consider, but for a child without any special medical needs that impact things like breathing and muscle control, it’s not a concern after they have good head control. If it were a concern after that age, we would have a ton of data to show that, because so many kids do sleep in the car with their heads in that position it would be happening often, but it simply isn’t because they can and do move their heads if needed, just like adults.

@@countrykidscarseatsafety thank you!

Sorry, this was originally posted to my TikTok, the pinned post is there

@@countrykidscarseatsafety I found it, thank you so much!!!

A loose harness is one of the top 3 car seat misuses! CPSTs are working hard to get the info out ❤️

If it’s too high, a child may try to push it down or open it because they’re uncomfortable.

Once a child is ready to forward face (at least age 2 or when rearfacing is outgrown for their convertible or all-in-one seat), the harnessed mode of a “harnessed booster” or “harness to booster” seat is an appropriate choice! There’s no safety difference to the child, a forward facing harness is a forward facing harness, whether it’s on a convertible, all-in-one, or harness-to-booster seat.

Which car seat is it? Have you moved the crotch buckle strap in both the pad AND the plastic shell underneath?

@@countrykidscarseatsafety thanks for answer me. I have the Graco Slim fit 3 in 1. Yes I moved the strap but it is still short 😢

What brand and model seat is it? How tall and heavy is the child?

@@countrykidscarseatsafety evenflo revolver 360 slim

@jubbsmarlin9390 how tall and heavy is the child? Have you moved the buckle strap in the slots in the shell, not just the padding?

I have moved the buckle in the actual seat itself. He is 31 inches tall and 25 pounds

@@jubbsmarlin9390 Do you still have the infant insert in the seat?

Great question: each loop can be both a router and an anchor at the same time! So each loop can have a tether strap routed through it while also having another seat’s tether strap hooked onto it. If you have two forward facing seats in the outboard seats, they CAN both attach to the center loop, too!

@@countrykidscarseatsafety Great, thank you so much!

Your child is not old enough to use this restraint! I would recommend finding a lightweight harnessed car seat to bring with you.

@@countrykidscarseatsafety thank you for taking time to reply to my comment. Do you have any car seat recommendation for 22 months old?

Maybe we stuttered, or lost our balance leaning into the car, or the dog barked, or the rooster crowed, or we had to pause to help our kids with something, so we can’t do one continuous take. Maybe we’re humans providing free of charge safety information to the public, so we don’t have access to professional editing. Maybe some thoughts need to stay inside our brains because they’re not kind or necessary. 😊

The ONLY booster that can be used with the RideSafer vest is the TravelSmarter booster from the same manufacturer: it cannot be used with any other booster whatsoever! It is optional, my biggest concern for the 3 year old is their maturity it sit correctly for the entire ride. There is more freedom of movement in the vest than in a harnessed seat, for a child that young I would advise a responsible adult to sit in the back with him to monitor him.

Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me out!

Great question! They would both attach to the center loop, OR you could put them side by side and the center loop can be both a router for the center seat and an anchor for the side seat. The loop style top tether system in trucks is the only system that allows the two to attach to one loop/anchor!

Given the number of people who still put kids in big coats in the car seat (and the number of grandparents who give the parents grief over not using one), yes, this info needs to be shared.
