How to Raise a Driver’s Car Seat
Raising a car seat is an important step in ensuring your child’s safety. Follow these tips to raise the car seat safely and properly:
NEVER use a belt to lift the car seat. This can cause the car seat to become unstable and increase the risk of injury.
Always use two hands when raising or lowering the car seat. Use one hand to hold on to the car seat and another hand to support it from below.
Wait until the car is stopped before raising or lowering the car seat. If you wait until the car is moving, it could move too fast and cause injury.
NEVER leave a child unattended in a raised car seat.
