@@sophiethewestie Hi there! That sounds frustrating. Neither of those options would be a safe idea, if the booster is reclined the child can slip down under the lap belt, and locking it is not necessary for a booster rider. A few recommendations: 1. Is he able to go back into a harnessed seat at his age? One of the criteria for using a booster is the ability to stay upright in their belt, even if they fall asleep. He may benefit from a harness til he’s a bit older. 2. Teach him to look up at the ceiling when sleepy! That can help him stay upright. 3. Consider a different booster with deeper side wings for more support.

@@countrykidscarseatsafety Thank you, I appreciate your feedback. We're going back to the 5-point harness until he's older and can stay upright when he falls asleep.

@@sophiethewestie I would say that’s a wise choice!

@@diadiaa892 I’m a former elementary school teacher and sometimes it shows! I made this one with the kids in mind. 😁

Hi there! As a CPST I would not dream of giving unsafe or incorrect information. The vest is across her lap for most of the video (except the part where I am demonstrating to caregivers what NOT to do with it), and the manufacturer of the vest actually does permit the seatbelt to be locked if desired! Locking the belt is optional, but can be beneficial for some children who have a hard time staying in place.

@countrykidscarseatsafety I was watching your video to make sure I was doing it right and somehow this comment went on your video instead of the one it was meant for where she was doing it completely wrong. Sorry about that! Thanks for the video and the work you do!

Not everyone has great spatial awareness, and the car seat manuals don’t always describe it well. If you get it naturally, good for you, but that doesn’t mean it’s common sense to everyone’s brain.

Honestly this can happen to almost any harnessed seat! If it’s coming loose that’s almost always the cause, something stuck in that lever.

@@countrykidscarseatsafety we appreciate your video. Thank you

That’s a perfectly valid concern when there is a medical need like that to consider, but for a child without any special medical needs that impact things like breathing and muscle control, it’s not a concern after they have good head control. If it were a concern after that age, we would have a ton of data to show that, because so many kids do sleep in the car with their heads in that position it would be happening often, but it simply isn’t because they can and do move their heads if needed, just like adults.

@@countrykidscarseatsafety thank you!

Sorry, this was originally posted to my TikTok, the pinned post is there

@@countrykidscarseatsafety I found it, thank you so much!!!

A loose harness is one of the top 3 car seat misuses! CPSTs are working hard to get the info out ❤️

If it’s too high, a child may try to push it down or open it because they’re uncomfortable.

Once a child is ready to forward face (at least age 2 or when rearfacing is outgrown for their convertible or all-in-one seat), the harnessed mode of a “harnessed booster” or “harness to booster” seat is an appropriate choice! There’s no safety difference to the child, a forward facing harness is a forward facing harness, whether it’s on a convertible, all-in-one, or harness-to-booster seat.

Which car seat is it? Have you moved the crotch buckle strap in both the pad AND the plastic shell underneath?

@@countrykidscarseatsafety thanks for answer me. I have the Graco Slim fit 3 in 1. Yes I moved the strap but it is still short 😢

What brand and model seat is it? How tall and heavy is the child?

@@countrykidscarseatsafety evenflo revolver 360 slim

@jubbsmarlin9390 how tall and heavy is the child? Have you moved the buckle strap in the slots in the shell, not just the padding?

I have moved the buckle in the actual seat itself. He is 31 inches tall and 25 pounds

@@jubbsmarlin9390 Do you still have the infant insert in the seat?

Great question: each loop can be both a router and an anchor at the same time! So each loop can have a tether strap routed through it while also having another seat’s tether strap hooked onto it. If you have two forward facing seats in the outboard seats, they CAN both attach to the center loop, too!

@@countrykidscarseatsafety Great, thank you so much!

Your child is not old enough to use this restraint! I would recommend finding a lightweight harnessed car seat to bring with you.

@@countrykidscarseatsafety thank you for taking time to reply to my comment. Do you have any car seat recommendation for 22 months old?

Maybe we stuttered, or lost our balance leaning into the car, or the dog barked, or the rooster crowed, or we had to pause to help our kids with something, so we can’t do one continuous take. Maybe we’re humans providing free of charge safety information to the public, so we don’t have access to professional editing. Maybe some thoughts need to stay inside our brains because they’re not kind or necessary. 😊
