ERR WRONG. We went to a car seat safety check this morning and they had lots of corrections! We pretty much knew nothing. hahha Jamie's needed to be tightened and the "something or other" elevated. Then she told us all the facts that we didn't know, for example the seat in front of the car seat should not touch the car seat. The car seat should move up and down but not side to side, etc.
In my car we did change the car seat to the middle which made me feel so much better. After seeing what the side airbags do in a car wreck I didn't want Jackson near the side airbags. The middle is the safest place for a car seat but you can put them on the sides depending on the car- Jamie's has to be on the side. Do not use the baby mirror it can suffocate them in a wreck. And you shouldn't use the seat protectors..bummer. However, our little soccer ball toy is OK!! YAY.
Then she showed us how to put the baby in and how to adjust all the straps... which I put the baby in wrong too but now I know just how to do it. They also gave us a little emergency sticker to put on his car seat if we get in an accident so that they wouldn't put him in child services first (scary thought). Great information! I am so glad we went. And I would recommend it to everyone!! People were bringing their convertible car seats to the check with their toddlers to make sure they were in right too- we will do that when we switch over.
To find your car seat inspection check- google it because they are all different. Ours was through the children's hospital but we could have gone to the police station too.
