Winter Car Seat Safety

Winter weather is officially here in Maryland! With the upcoming snowy weather and frigid temperatures, it’s important to reinforce car seat recommendations that will keep your infants and young children both warm AND safe on the road. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises against the use of bulky clothing, including winter coats and snowsuits, underneath the car seat harness. As a general rule, put nothing thicker than a sweatshirt or fleece jacket on your child before buckling them into their car seats.
