Carseat Seatbelt Question - CPS Tech?

[Mom to Brandon and 2 cats]

I can't remember - am I right, or am I backwards?

Rearfacing - seatbelt ABOVE shoulder level of infant

Frontfacing - seatbelt BELOW shoulder level of child

Thanks!

you are backwards.

rearfacing, it goes below the shoulder to prevent baby being thrown up in the seat during a crash.

forward facing, it goes above the shoulder to help reduce head excursion.

either way, it can also be AT the shoulder...

Exactly. But double-check your car seat for forward-facing. There are still some out there that require the harness be in the top slots for forward-facing use regardless of height and weight.
