I have actually seen a car where the child seat had the front wheel of an 18-wheeler resting on the top of the seat through the roof of the vehicle and the child survived with only minor bruising! Truly a miracle as car seats of course isn’t intended to hold that kind of weight. But the child’s parents swear they believe that that car seat saved their child.

The featured article below details not only how winter coat compression endangers your child but some tips on how to keep your child both warm and safe. I know I will never again strap my grandchildren into a car seat wearing a warm bulky coat.
