Grab your carseat at the base, where the seatbelt goes. The base should not move more than an inch (1") side-to-side or front-to-back. Some movement at the top of the seat is normal, though a tether will reduce this movement in forward-facing carseats. Ideally, you want the child coupled as tightly as possible to the harness system and carseat, and the carseat coupled as tightly as possible to the vehicle with the seatbelt or LATCH system.

There is no single safest child safety seat for all children and vehicles. The safest seat is one that fits your child, fits your vehicle and one you will use correctly each and every time. Please also see:

Many manufacturers now put "expiration" dates on their carseats. Six (6) years is the general recommendation. At most, 10 years is the accepted maximum lifetime of a carseat. The reasons for these limits involve possible degradation of the plastic shell and other parts, the possible loss/breakage of parts and the fact that older seats will often not meet current government safety standards.

The general recommendation is NO. You must replace it and destroy the old one so it can never be used again. Some insurance companies will re-imburse for carseats involved in a crash, and they are required by law to do so in some states. Please call the manufacturer of your carseat if you have any questions. You should also contact your car dealer after a crash, as it is very likely that the seatbelts, LATCH/Tether anchors and integrated child seats may also need to be replaced.

The center of the rear seat is usually safest since it is farthest from a possible side impact, but only if your carseat fits well in that position. Any position in the rear seat is acceptable unless prohibited by the vehicle or child seat owner's manual.

Airbags can be deadly to infants in rear-facing carseats, and to children 12 and under using the seatbelts. The front seat is generally not recommended for children 12 and under. The airbag MUST be disabled if you must use a rear-facing child seat in the front. Some vehicles without a rear seat, especially pickup trucks, have an on/off switch for this purpose. If a child must ride in the front, you should also move the front seat as far back as it will go.

The original lines on your own hair to attach the Hair system get out of control when the hair is shampooed, it gets very sleek and slides out of the lines, or pushed up from the natural hair growth, coming to the salon at least once per month for shampoo and tight will keep your hair system in place and more comfortable to wear.

Some children can twist out of harnesses at an early age. Others can easily undo the buckle mechanism. Children may also be able to put too much slack in a seatbelt, and some children don't want to use a child restraint or seatbelt at all. Driving is a dangerous activity, and like any other, it requires proper supervision at all times. Parents can try many things.

Children should be in an appropriate safety seat until they are about 8 years old, unless they are already 4 feet, 9 inches or taller. After that, they should be properly seated with a lap and shoulder belt. Children 12 and under should remain in the rear seat. All passengers should wear lap AND shoulder belts at all times. Yes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has many resources. This website is a great starting point:

A 5-point harness is considered safest. T-shields and overhead tray shields may be less safe, especially for small infants. Also see:

LATCH (also ISOFIX) is not necessarily safer than using seatbelts to install a carseat. It may make it easier to get a safe installation. LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren. Most newer vehicles and child seats have this system. For more information, see our comprehensive guide:

Tethers are straps that prevent the top of a carseat from moving forward in a crash. They may also increase overall stability. Many newer cars and carseats are compatible with tethers, or can have them installed. Tethers allow newer carseats to meet stricter safety standards. See:

For newborns and infants, it is recommended that they sit in a rear-facing carseat at a 45 degree angle (maximum). Some infant carseats have a built-in level indicator. Older infants should have less recline, once they are able to support their heads. Front-facing carseats should not be reclined. Though some front-facing and convertible models are approved in a semi-reclined position, this recline does concentrate crash forces in the crotch so an upright position is preferred.

You may put a tightly rolled towel or foam pool "noodle" under the front of a rear-facing carseat (near the crack of the vehicle seat) to get the necessary recline. You must not put a noodle, thick towels or any compressible material under a front-facing carseat.

Generally, no. For safety, the harness straps must remain tight on the child's shoulders regardless of any clothing. You can put a blanket over the child, OUTSIDE the harness straps or put your child's coat on backwards after they are in the seat. For infants in cold weather, an aftermarket "cozy" that zips over the infant carrier rather than fitting under the child is another solution.

Please consult the manual for your carseat first. The weight limits are also listed on decals attached to the carseat. Most current infant seats have 20 or 22 pound weight limits, though some models go to 30 or 35 pounds. Most current convertible seats have rear-facing limits of 30, 33 or 35 pounds. All convertibles have 40 pound limits when front-facing, though some new models will have increased front-facing weight limits.

If you are comfortable, it is likely your child is comfortable, too. If you have air conditioning, put it at maximum fan speed and in "Recirculate" mode, and aim some vents toward the rear. If the sun is on your child, put a very thin white towel or receiving blanket over them or put up the canopy in an infant carrier. Put a similar blanket or cover on the carseat if your car is in the sun all day.

First, you MUST check the carseat and vehicle owner's manuals to see if they specifically mention installing the carseat in a seating position with an airbag. Some carseat manufacturers do state that their carseats should not be installed in a spot with an active airbag. In addition, rear-facing carseats should NEVER be placed in a front seat with an active frontal airbag.

Does your closet consist mostly of elastic waistbands? Then you might need to find out what's causing your abdominal bloating and how to treat it.

If the stem is still inserted in the pipe and is so difficult to remove that you fear your pipe may be damaged, then place the pipe in the freezer for several minutes. This works the vast majority of the time; however, if the stem still proves too difficult to remove, smoke the pipe, allow it to cool, and try to remove the stem again. If neither of these techniques work, then send the pipe to a reputable repairperson.

Falling in tight turns is cause by blades that are too short. When turning tight, the boot of the skate actually touches the ice, causing the player to fall. If there enough blade left that this should not be causing the player to fall, you may want to have your custom radius checked.

It will be satisfactory to unlock or crack a window. This is a comfort issue that the occupant will naturally address. Heat exchangers can recover the energy that ventilation loses.

series and 1330 series should be tightened to 17 ft/lbs and 1350 series to 20 ft/lbs. You should never tighten the nuts on any u-bolt excessively. This will cause the cap to distort and the u-joint will fail prematurely. Click to see Photo

Make sure you have read the owner's manual thoroughly and are using the correct path for the seatbelts. Check your vehicle's owner's manual for information on the seatbelts. Yours may have a locking retractor mode. On some cars, you can pull the seatbelt all the way out and it will lock as it retracts. You can then put your weight on the carseat as it retracts to take up all the slack. Make sure to put your weight on the seat as you install it. Rocking back and forth a little may also help.

Harness straps should be snug with no slack, but not so tight as to be uncomfortable. The top straps should be on the shoulders, and some prefer to say that you should not be able to "pinch an inch" or get more than a finger in between the shoulder and the strap. The lower straps in a 5-point harness should be fairly tight across the thighs (not on the tummy). A tight harness can prevent ejection, and also can increase the ride-down time to reduce the chance of crash injury.

A32 - Loading and soldering all the required electronic components onto two Phoenix printed circuit boards takes me about 8 hours. It is not difficult to do, but requires attention at every step. I do not sell pre-assembled boards, but I can put you in contact with someone who will load boards. I can check your assembled boards for proper functioning, should you want to have this assurance, in case you lack the necessary equipment to test them yourself.

Maybe. Integrated carseats, especially those with a harness, may have some disadvantages when used as the primary restraint for a child: Emergency personnel often prefer to remove a child in a separate carseat. This keeps the child immobilized in case of head/spinal injury, and may allow for safer transport in the ambulance. Integrated seats do not function rear-facing. Rear-facing is safest for children, and many separate carseat models allow for rear-facing use to 30 or 35 lbs.
