JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – There’s nearly a 6 in 10 chance that your child’s car seat is installed incorrectly, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Since April, the organization has done more than 150 virtual seat checks.
Not installing the car seat tight enough -- the car seat shouldn’t move side to side or front to back more than 1 inch at the belt path.
Due to the lack of travel, it is also important you check your child’s car seat to make sure it still works appropriately.
So, before you get on the road, double-check that the car seat is in there correctly," Kessenger said.
