Most Common Mistakes

So we've all heard the stats that something like 90% of all car seats are installed incorrectly. Here are the ones that I see most frequntly.


  1. car seats installed using UAS in the centre position of the vehicle when the vehicle manual says that it is not permitted. Many cars don't allow for car seat installation in the rear centre position using UAS. You must read your manual.
  2. The back of a forward facing car seat is not tethered to the back of the car.
  3. Children moved to the forward facing position before they are ready.
  4. Bunting bags or thick winter clothing used in car seats. Check out this Transport Canada Advisory
