Description

In this episode, we dive into all things car seats! 

Here are the questions we go over!

1. Can you review the basics of buckling in a newborn?
2. Talk to me about the "pinch test". 
3. What about my baby's head and how it hangs? I'm concerned he can't breathe!
4. How do I buckle my baby in with a coat? What if he is cold?
5. What about sleeping babies in car seats? How long is that ok?
6. Rear-facing vs. front facing - what are the biggest safety concerns? When is it safe to switch my child to front-facing?
7. I'm concerned my baby's legs are bent too much and he is uncomfortable rear-facing?
8. Where should I go or who should I contact if I need help installing my car seat and/or making sure my baby is buckled in?
