Read the manufacturer’s instruction manual for your seat, and the portion of your vehicle owner’s manual on child restraint systems before you begin installing your seat.

According to Safe Kids Worldwide, correctly used child safety seats can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71 percent.

Car seat recommendations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are more stringent than the Tennessee state law requirements (below), but are considered best practice and safest for your child.  Review the NHTSA recommendations.
