How does a 5-point harness actually protect your child? By securing them where they’re strongest! 💪🦴
Here is a peek underneath to show why proper harness positioning matters so much:
🦴 Over the collarbone: Keeping the chest clip at armpit level aligns the upper straps directly over the strong collarbones and ribcage.
🦴 Across the hips: The lower straps sit low and snug across the pelvis, transferring crash forces to the strong hip bones and away from the soft belly.
Before you head out for trick-or-treating tonight, do a quick two-step check:
✅ Chest clip positioned at armpit level.
✅ Harness tightened so you cannot pinch a horizontal fold in the strap at the collarbone!
🎃Bonus Halloween tip: Skip the puffy, bulky costumes inside the car seat so they don’t introduce hidden slack into the straps. Buckle your little ghoul in snugly first, then add the final layers once safely at your destination! And don’t forget to keep props safely stowed to reduce projectile risk!🎃👻
Have a safe and happy Halloween
