Carseats

Boy, as a first time mom, I had no cue about carseats or carseat safety.  I knew we needed one.  I knew he needed to face backwards until he was 1 year and 20 pounds.  I knew the carseat would keep him safe.

Beyond that, I had no idea.  I didn't know how to tell if he was outgrowing his seat besides what the box it came in said.  I didn't know what a convertible seat was.  I didn't know when I could use a booster seat.  I didn't know carseats expired.

Do you have questions about how to keep your child safe in the car?  This is the place to be.  I don't have all the answers but I am learning and will share what I am learning so we can all drive more safely with our precious cargo.
