✓ Right Seat – Check car seat label: Ensure it is appropriate for the child’s age, weight, and height. ✓ Right Place – Kids are VIPs – All VIPs ride in the back seat, so keep all children in the back seat until they are 13 years of age. ✓ Right Direction – Until age 2 children should be rear-facing. ✓ Inch Test – Once car seat is installed; give it a good shake at the base. A properly installed car seat will not move more than an inch. ✓ Pinch Test – Ensure the harness is tightly buckled and coming from the correct slots (check car seat manual). Now, with the chest clip placed at armpit level, pinch the strap at your child’s shoulder. If you are unable to pinch any excess webbing, you’re good to go. The current state law requires all children younger than eight (8) years old, unless they are taller than four feet nine inches (4’9”) to be restrained in a child safety seat.
