Contact a Miami Defective Baby Seat Lawyer
Unfortunately, many baby seats are installed incorrectly, and/or children are placed incorrectly into the seats. When this occurs, parents are placing their infants at risk for serious injury. The following guidelines are meant for parents and childcare providers to insure the proper installation, safety, and use of their car seats.
* Never place a child or infant into a car seat in the front passenger seat of a car equipped with a passenger-side air bag. In the event of an accident and the air bag is deployed, the result can be serious injury or death for the infant.
* Always place the baby seat in the back seat of a vehicle. A rear-facing baby seat should never be placed where it can come in contact with an airbag.
* Secure the car seat tightly, allowing as little movement as possible at the base of the car seat.
* Check to make sure that an infant’s harness straps are running over the child's shoulders. They should sit flat along the infant’s chest.
* The harness clip should lie flat at armpit level.
* You should not be able to fit more than a finger between the harness strap and the infant’s shoulders.
* Make sure that your infant is using the most appropriate type of car seat according to their age and weight.
o For infants up to 1 year and 20 pounds, use a rear-facing seat.
o For infants one year of age and up to 30-40 pounds, use a forward-facing seat.
o For infants weighing more than 30-40 pounds, use a booster seat.
