You might think that anyone who can read an instruction manual and follow directions could figure out a car seat. But it's not always that easy – in fact, as many as 85 percent of all car seats are improperly installed.

It's a good idea to have a certified technician take a look at how you've installed your baby's car seat. It's a free service, and the technician will make sure your baby's riding as safely as possible. For a car seat inspection station near you, check the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's searchable database.
