Have you heard of the pinch test? Don’t let the name confuse you. The pinch test helps you keep your child safe in a car seat. The car seat harness should be snug against the child. If you can pinch a horizontal fold in the webbing at your child’s shoulders, the harness is still too loose.

Need your car seat checked? Call us today to schedule your car seat appointment at 252-728-8550 at Ext 4525 or 4528
