Winter Car Seat Safety Tips: Keeping Kids Safe & Warm

A child can then slip through the straps and be thrown from the seat. Here are tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics to help parents strike that perfect balance between keeping little ones warm as well as safely buckled in their car seats.​
