Training #CPSTs looks a little different these days, but we're so thankful for our small but mighty group of law enforcement officers from @BentonPoliceAR@BryantPolice@LRpolice, England PD and victim services who all came out to start their 3 day training today! #TheRightSeat

When used correctly, #carseats and boosters are one of the easiest ways to keep your child safe and reduces the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants & 54% for toddlers. At the IPC, our CPSTs most often see errors related to installation and harnessing. #CPSWeek#TheRightSeat
It's #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek! Not sure what that means or where to start? Follow along with us this week as we share tips and resources to make sure your child is in #TheRightSeat every time.
The kind of #carseat your baby needs will change over time. From birth until your baby is 2, keep them in a rear-facing seat with a harness. Your baby's head and neck muscles aren't strong yet. The rear-facing position gives them the support they need. #CPSWeek#TheRightSeat
Did you know your #carseat has an expiration date? Typically, car seat expiration dates range 6 to 10 years from the manufacture date. Look for a sticker like the one in this photo to make sure your car seat hasn’t expired. #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek#TheRightSeat@InjuryFreeKids
When fitting your child in their #carseat, check to make sure the harness is snug enough when extra material cannot be pinched at the shoulder. Also be sure the chest clip is at armpit level. #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek#TheRightSeat
It's a FAQ, "Can I use both lower anchors and a seat belt to install a #carseat?" The answer is usually no. Choose one, not both—unless your car seat manual says so. #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek#TheRightSeat
It's important to remember, a #carseat must be in the recline position for rear-facing use. If the level arrow is not parallel to the ground, use a tightly rolled towel or small blanket beneath the front edge of the recline stand. #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek#TheRightSeat
The back seat is the safest place to ride. All children under 13 should ride in the back seat. Like or RT this post if you agree! #CPSWeek#TheRightSeat
