Installing or adjusting a car seat can feel like a wrestling match at times, but it’s crucial everything is properly installed to keep your child safe!
If you need to fix uneven car seat straps, you should first check the instruction manual, as the process varies depending on the type of car seat you have. However, if you have a continuous harness system, which is most common, you can fix the uneven straps by:
  1. Loosening the seat belt that holds the car seat in place.
  2. Firmly grasping each side of the strap.
  3. Pull each side back and forth until the straps even out.
Finally, driving around with your child can be stressful, but it helps to know you have a
