Being a new parent, it can be overwhelming with all the choices for a child safety seat in the car. There are a few things to think about when keeping your child safe in a vehicle.
That is Marshalltown Police Officer Adan Ortiz, who has a few kids of his own he has fit into child seats. He says the pinch test will make sure the harness it tightly buckled and the pulling test is to make sure the seat itself is strapped in properly. Officer Ortiz says there are some online resources to help find the best seat
That website will help parents find the best child seat for their type of vehicle. As the child grows, they will move out of a child seat and into a booster seat.
