2 month old is ejected from vehicle

Thankfully this two month old was miraculously uninjured as a result of this crash, but this serves to highlight the importance of dressing your child correctly in their car seat (not bulky layers, unlike Desiree McLaughlin's 5 month old who was featured in the piece dressed in a snow suit in his car seat) and to tighen that harness correctly.

• As a reminder, to ensure your child is correclty restrained in their car seat during the colder months, do not dress the child in thick coats, buntings or layers.
• A thin fleece jacket or blanket over the child following securing in the seat is sufficient to keep them warm.
• Ensure the harness is correctly tightened by performing the pinch test (attempting to horizontally pinch the harness together and failing) at the collarbone of the child.
• Place the chest clip level with the child's underams.
• Do not use unregulated items such as the BundleMe in your infant seat.

As we discussed previously, thick layers between the child and the harness will compress in a crash causing the harness to be too loose. This can result in ejection of the child from the seat.
