🧴Apply generously and liberally to all exposed areas, especially the face, nose, ears, feet and hands, and even the backs of the knees

😎 Wear sunglasses with UV protection. Look for child-sized sunglasses with UV protection too.

☀️ Limit sun exposure between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm when UV rays are strongest.

One size does NOT fit all when it comes to car seats!

Every child is unique, and so is every car seat. Always refer to your car seat's instruction manual to ensure the best fit for your child's weight, height and age. When in doubt, connect with a certified CPST who can walk you through it step by step. Schedule an in-person or virtual car seat check appointment: https://www.safety-connection.org/caregiver/
