is your child as safe as they can possibly be?

I've been hearing lot of comments from people lately who have friends/family/co-workers, etc, who may not be following what we techs like to call "best practice" when it comes to kids & carseats.
Here are a couple of things to remember:

1. Follow the law! Check the laws in your province regarding child restraints. Please, at least follow the law, which is the bare minimum in keeping your child safe.

2. Read the manual!! Reading the manual for your child car seat is the FIRST thing you should do! There are many common errors which could be avoided by reading the information provided.

3. Ask questions!!! If you aren't sure that your seat is installed correctly, or the right seat for your child, or if you're not sure that they are buckled in properly, ask someone! Find a tech (Hi, I'm a tech, remember? Send me an email or call me! I love doing private inspections and helping someone out!). Go to a clinic. Just make sure that you are keeping your child as safe as you can.
