About this episode
In this episode, we dive into all things car seats! Here are the questions we go over! Can you review the basics of buckling in a newborn? Talk to me about the "pinch test". What about my baby's head and how it hangs? I'm concerned he can't breathe! How do I buckle my baby in with a coat? What if he is cold? What about sleeping babies in car seats? How long is that ok? Rear-facing vs. front facing - what are the biggest safety concerns? When is it safe to switch my child to front-facing? I'm concerned my baby's legs are bent too much and he is uncomfortable rear-facing? Where should I go or who should I contact if I need help installing my car seat and/or making sure my baby is buckled in? Stressed about your baby registry?
