A funny reminder for those with little ones this winter season!
If you have car seat safety questions, you can always call or stop by the health department for guidance!
We get it — it’s freezing outside and those big fluffy coats are tempting. But when it comes to car seats, bulky jackets and thick coats can actually put kids at risk.
Here’s why 👇
❄️ Puffy coats create extra space in the harness
❄️ In a crash, that padding compresses
❄️ Straps that felt “tight” suddenly aren’t
The safer move:
✔️ Buckle kids in snug without the bulky coat
✔️ Do the “pinch test” — no slack means you’re good
✔️ Then place the coat or a blanket over the harness
Cold kids = uncomfortable
Loose car seats = dangerous
Stay warm, stay safe, and make sure everyone arrives buckled up the right way. 🚓💙
