Briana's young son likes to latch himself into his forward facing car seat. While he was struggling with the latch, she noticed that his shoulders were above the car seat's top harness slots and that his head was above the top of the car seat. What should she do?
The correct action for Briana to take in this situation is to put him in a rear-facing seat. It is important for a child to ride in a rear-facing car seat until they reach the height and weight limits specified by the manufacturer. This position provides the most protection for their head, neck, and spine in the event of a crash.
