Child safety seat reminders – 90% of car seats misused

It seems like a simple concept, but more often than not parents are making some big mistakes when buckling kids up in their safety seats.

Just because you hear that “click” of the buckle doesn’t mean your car or booster seat is properly installed. Nicole Vesley, the Safe Kids Coordinator at UW-Children’s Hospital says it’s not that simple.

“Here in Dane Co., about 90% of the car seats that we check have a misuse to them,” said Vesley.
