Airbags

• Read and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your child safety seat and the vehicle owner's manual.                        
• No more than one finger's width of slack between the child's collar bone & the harness strap.                        
• The harness retainer clip should be at arm pit level.                        
• The safety seat should be installed tight.  No more than one inch of movement side to side or front to back, AT THE BELT PATH.                        
• Children should ride in a rear facing safety seat until they are at least one year of age AND weighing 20  pounds or more.                        
• NEVER place a rear-facing child safety seat the front seat of a vehicle equipped with an air bag.                        
• If a forward facing child MUST be placed in a seating position with an air bag, move the seat as far back as  possible, out of the bags path.   
• Older children, generally ages 4-8 and 40 -80 pounds should ride in a booster seat.  Be certain they have upper body protection and head support.  Some vehicles have no shoulder belts or head restraints in the back seats.                        
• All children 12 and under should ride in the back seat; the safest place.
• Proper installation is important for your child's safety.  Check our web site for the next Child Safety Seat check up near you or contact a Nationally Certified Technician for assistance.
