The Most Common Car Seat Mishaps New Parents Make

Aside from strollers that allow you to clip your baby's car seat into the body, car seats shouldn't be used outside the car (hence the name). Tilton told POPSUGAR: "A car seat is a safety device to use in the car. . . . Many parents focus on 'Don't wake the sleeping baby,' which unfortunately means they're not thinking about the complications or situations that can result." Because a baby could potentially slide down in a car seat, that could cause them to block their own airway, resulting in suffocation.
