Myers Driving School is wish everyone a safe holiday. Please buckle up!
As my photo clearly proves… I do not belong in a child’s car seat. But kids do — and when they’re in one, how they’re buckled matters more than we sometimes realize.
Quick reminder for parents and caregivers: puffy winter coats and car seats do NOT mix.
Here’s why:
• Puffy coats create hidden slack in the harness.
• In a crash, that padding compresses instantly.
• What felt “tight enough” can suddenly become way too loose.
• That can allow a child to slip out of the straps or be thrown forward, risking serious injury.
👉 Safer move:
Buckle your child in without the bulky coat, tighten the harness properly, then lay the coat or a blanket over the straps to keep them warm.
Cold kids are uncomfortable.
Loose harnesses are dangerous.
If this made you laugh and think, mission accomplished. Please share to help keep kids safe this winter. 👶🛑
