How can I keep my child safely in the car seat?
Many children dislike the confines of a properly fitted harness strap or seat belts on boosters. This is a difficult disciplinary problem but here are some tips:
- Make sure everyone in the car buckles up on every ride.
- Dress the child for comfort, avoid heavy clothing between the harness strap and child.
- Pull over and stop and tell the child that you cannot drive unless everyone is buckled up, it’s the law.
There are harness systems specific to behavioral issues. Contact your pediatrician for references.
