Buckle Up Buttercup

Great tips for parents all around!!

A sobering reminder as to why kids should be in harnessed seats as long as possible. I know they were taken to hospital as a precaution and they may have been in a harnessed seat but I have seen WAY to many kids too small for boosters in boosters recently..... Have questions?? ASK!

Thanks to our friends at CTV Morning Live Atlantic for having us on the show this morning to demonstrate all the stages of car seats, from the infant seat to t...he seat belt! Check out the clip here: https://bit.ly/364SJse and please share in honour of national Child Passenger Safety Week! #CPSweek2020 #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek #CPSWeekCanada #TogetherApart IWK Health Centre

3 seatbelts + 3 top tethers = MAYBE 3 car seats or booster seats In this vehicle there are 3 seatbelts and 3 top tethers however (circled in the photos below) there are overlapping seatbelts :( this MIGHT be ok for a combination of boosters and car seats but for sure not 3 boosters. As you see in photo 1 the seatbelts interfere with each other and on photo 3 with the boosters buckled they don’t sit properly and cause tension on each other. This vehicle would also not be cond...ucive to having 3 people sit in the back seat either as someone would be sitting on one of the belts! So although a car seat or booster MAY fit 3 across, you also need to consider (a) does the vehicle manual allow it and (b) do they fit properly with the seatbelts done up correctly!
