Mamas, let’s talk winter coats and car seat safety!
That big, fluffy winter coat might keep your little one warm, but it can also put them at risk in the car.
Here’s why: bulky coats compress during a crash, creating dangerous extra space between your child’s body and the harness. Even when the straps seem tight, they may not be snug enough to protect your child properly.
✨ Instead, try this:
• Buckle your child in wearing thin, warm layers.
• Make sure the harness is snug against their body.
• Use a blanket OVER the secured harness to keep them warm.
• Put their coat on backward over their arms once they’re buckled in.
A few extra seconds can make a difference. This isn’t about mom-shaming; it’s about sharing information that could help keep our babies safe. 🤍
Share this with a mama who needs the reminder! 🫶🏼
