Budget Brakes wants to remind every parent of the value of car seats from the time a child is born until they are eight or nine years old. Car seats are vital to protecting your loved ones in the event of an accident.
The most important thing you can check on a car seat is whether or not your child is securely seated in the car seat. The key is to make the seat belts as tight as they can be so that the child stays secure in an accident. Car seat manufacturers make optional ratchet-style adjustments to be fixed to the car seat belts to tighten the belts to the optimum level.
Older children should have booster car seats, as well. As an adult, riding in a car places the edge of the seat in line with the knee. Children, however, with shorter legs, often find that their legs stick straight out. Without a booster seat, an accident that causes the car to compact would also crush a child's legs. A booster seat also prevents the seatbelt from crossing the neck, instead, placing it firmly across the shoulder as it was designed.
Budget Brakes hopes every parent realizes the value of proper car seat use.
