🚗Before the road trip starts, make sure the little ones are sorted. 👶🏽
Infant car seats can be a bit of a head-scratcher, especially when there seem to be a million straps and buckles.
🧡For babies and toddlers, rear-facing is safest, so keep them that way for as long as practicable.
A couple of quick checks:
✅Check the seat: Once installed, it shouldn’t move more than 2.5cm in any direction.
✅Check the harness: It should sit firmly against your child. If you can pinch the harness strap between your fingers, it’s too loose.
✅Remember, children under seven must be in an approved child restraint that’s right for their age and size.
Once everyone’s strapped in, g.a.s. is here for the stops along the way.⛽
