NHTSA Child Safety Seat Ease of Use Ratings
This past week NHTSA came out with its annual child safety seat Ease of Use Ratings. This year, in an attempt to make it clearer for parents to understand, they’ve dropped the A, B, C grading system in favor of a 5-star grading system. Safety seats are evaluated on ease of use features, such as vehicle installation features and securing the child, and also on quality of the instructions and labeling.
To see the ratings, go to the NHTSA web site .
Remember that the best car seat is the one that fits your vehicle with less than 1” of movement when you tug at the belt path, fits your child the best, and has the features that make the seat easy for you to use each ride. Please visit our child passenger safety page to make sure your child is riding in his safety seat correctly.
