"Winter Coats Preventing Car Seats From Fitting Correctly"
Educational Video
"Car seat safety is important year round. However, during the winter months, parents need to be extra careful when it comes to buckling their children.
Those with large winter coats and snow suits often used to keep kids warm can actually work against them if you get into a serious accident.
Indiana State Police say the larger coats prevent the car seat's harness system from fitting the child.
While there have not been many of these cases locally, troopers say a severe crash could throw a child out of the car seat.
ISP recommends parents dress their kids in a light jacket and buckle them securely into the car seat then proceed to cover them with a blanket or a heavier coat to keep them warm."
