When it comes to car seat safety, it's crucial to understand the difference between rear facing, forward facing and booster settings. Always ensure the car is on level ground during installation and take the time to read both your car seat and vehicle manuals. When harnessing your baby, position shoulder straps correctly, secure the chest clip at armpit level, and perform a pinch test to ensure a snug fit. In Maryland, the law mandates rear facing for children 2 and under, but it's recommended to continue until the child outgrows height and weight limits. These best practices ensure safe transportation no matter your child’s age.
