How to Buckle Your Newborn in a Car Seat 

I think hospital employees interacting with parents should be trained in car seat safety. The lady that helped us to our vehicle with our stuff made me think the car seat wasn't installed safely because the back end moved. Thanks for everything you do!

Thank you so much for this! As a new mom, you’ve given me so much insight without being overwhelming. ❤

What a great instructional video. Thank you so much for this!!

My wife is 38 weeks (and 5 days) pregnant. We have all done and etc. I’ve watched videos on safety previously, but today I’ve stumbled on your channel: simply AMAZING! Wow… thank you SO MUCH!

I wish I had this video before bringing my little one home! It’s so so rushed in the hospital when getting discharged. My hospital didn’t allow us to buck baby in when going to the car so we had to do everything in the car (super cramped). Love that you used a basic car seat, and mentioned to never add anything that didn’t come with the seat!!

You make such high quality and educational videos!!! So impressed with every video!!! Thank you for helping us keep our babies safe!!!

So helpful! I have a 4 week old and I never quite know if I’m doing it correctly, so this demonstration helped!

So glad you did a focus point on the slack in the legs! That is what I teach first to a parent with a new little one to pull tight at the legs!

Cutest baby model! Great reminders for me as I’m about to have my third. Mine are all close in age so I feel like the knowledge “shouldn’t” go away but it’s shocking how good these reminders are!

This video was wonderful! Thank you leaving out all of the talk I'm getting straight to the demonstration was so very helpful Thank you so much!

Thank you SO much for making this video. Helped us keep our baby safe.

For my last baby. He was huge for a newborn and was on harness #3 from the hospital All my other babies were on the first slot It’s crazy that birth size can play such a factor in the harness hight

Thank you so much for the clear instructions.

I remember when my first niece was that age and my mom and I were babysitting. This was before I took a car seat class. When we arrived home, I started taking her out of the seat. My mom said, "Oh, you are supposed to leave her in there because she is sleeping." I said, "But I want to hold her." When I learned the danger of that in my class, I was really glad that I wanted to hold her. Not sure why this memory has always stuck with me. I also remember after I had taken my class, when my mom was watching my 2nd niece, that I had to stop her because the bubble was not in the correct spot. I fixed it for her. Her comment was, "I never look at the bubble." And looking at pictures of me, my parents definitely increased my chance for injury with the way they had me in the car. Which makes no sense with my dad being a former paramedic. Also, my brother and his wife have done wrong at times with their daughter. It's not their fault, their CPST never told them. I also had a lady I babysat for who took a class at the hospital and was told never to attach a top tether strap. All of this to say, I am so glad you started this channel! People really need you as most CPSTs are not good. You are!

Had to rewind the video cause I kept looking at that HANDSOME MAAAAAN 😍😍🥰 hey there guy

This was so helpful! I have a 9 month old and started thinking I might be making it too tight but i'm going to try the reverse pinch test next car ride to be sure it's fine.

Thank you so so much for such an easy to follow yet informative and engaging video. Our baby is due in November and we had been told that our 0+ car seat wasn’t safe because it isn’t stuffed full of inserts to ‘package’ baby. We were really panicked about how they would be supported and were going to buy a whole new seat before watching this and learning that head space is okay provided the straps are correctly fitted and tight to hold baby safely. Thank you so much!

Thabk youuuu! ❤ I have a premature newborn twins, pretty little! This is the best video I've found

Thank you for this video! I’ve been out just a few times with my 7 week old but every time she cries, now I know what to check to make her more confortable

Thank you so much for this. I’m due in July and just bought this exact car seat. I was thinking I was going to need an insert but now I know I don’t need to buy anything extra

Thank you!

Very helpful!

Thanks

Informative! ❤

Could you do a follow up video on installing the Evenflo Nurture Max base into the car? I just recently bought the Nuture Max to use for my step grandchildren when I babysit. I'm having trouble with the level line for the base though.

Bless ur heart

Thank you so much ☺️ for making this video and specially for explaining so calmly and clearly.

Great video! I learned how to check the shoulder harness slots, but how about slots for the leg harness? My Evenflo car seat also has two sets of slots for the leg harness. Thanks~

Now that winter is here, I’m having a hard time finding a liveable way to buckle my 3-wk old in with adequate clothing but no bulk. I can’t just have him in his regular clothes and a blanket until we get to the car because it’s too cold. What can I do to keep him warm yet safe in the seat? I know bundlemes are not safe

our carseat is in a LESS reclined position when installed. everything is green - perfectly aligned and we've checked 20 times. he's sitting too upright in my opinion but the carseat is properly installed.

I'll have to try the reverse technique sometime. I always just do the reguar test. Also, I've never done this, but my 🚗 manual says that if you can fit more than 1 finger under the straps, it's too loose. Is that a third way to test?

Thank you for this video. We got a doona for our second, and i just don't like how she looks in it. She seems like she is really sitting up and is very squished looking.

What if my car seat doesn’t have a chest clip? ( carestino deluxe v2)

Thank you for the video! Have I always been over tightening my harnesses? This sweet boy's harness still looks loose. I do the pinch test and this one looks like it could still be pinched! Can you help me better understand this? I want to make sure I'm not unnecessarily tightening the harness too snug.

I never realized movibgng thier legs down to remove slack is helpful. Is rolled blankets along the body still ok?!

Hello! I also have this Evenflo nurture max car infant car seat. Do you happen to know which stroller is compatible for me to just pop the rear facing car seat straight onto? First time mom here & 32 weeks pregnant so I'm trying to get everything ready for our babygirl ❤

How did you move the Handel I been trying for months and it's no button or anything the move it

What if the babies head flops around tho are you not supposed to put something behind they’re heads to support it?

How you get the handle down? Idk i cant find it

How do you adjust the handle on this model?

It’s unclear how you prevent the baby’s neck from dropping forward. we have a Nuna pipa lite and our daughter is 7 lbs. I’m unable to get her in a correct position where her neck is free and she’s able to breath properly

do you know if this car seat is compatible with any stroller?

How to bend the car seat handle?

How you move the handle im trying and I canttttt

The head is not gonna snap when accident incur?

And if you have a hard time with that dreaded red button, get an unbuckleme omg life changing!

Is it OK for a newborn to actually SEAT? I mean they say infants should not be put in a sitting position until they are 6 months old

Promise me this ....that u will 1st practice with a teddy bear.....yo friends baby😂🤣

Didn’t even show how to put the carry handle down. Not good at all. 1/10
