What can I do to keep my child's car seat secure?

Secure Your Child's Seat in a Moving Vehicle

Make sure your child's infant seat or booster seat stays secure in any vehicle. Often, adult seat belts don't hold anchor the seat properly. A loose seat spells trouble. Consider purchasing a tightening tool -- basically a sturdy clasp -- which will remove dangerous slack from the adult car seat belt. The tightening tool can be used in any vehicle and in any seat position. This means it is perfect not only for your family vehicle, but friends' cars, taxis to airports, and more!

A tightening tool is unnessary and can be dangerous in a crash. Please refer to the Nation Highway Transportation Safety Adminstrations Car Seat Safety information. In most cars a tightening device is built in and tested. If your cars selt belt system does not lock in place your child safety seats comes with a locking clip on it. You should not be tighting a booster seat please refer to the seats and cars owners manual for proper use. You can contact the manufactors of you child seat or vehicle if you have any more question.
