Abstract Misuse of car seats is widespread, and the pediatric nurse can help correct improper use by asking parents purposeful and specific questions that provide information on installation and positioning of child restraints. Common car seat misuses that can be revealed and corrected to prevent possible injuries or fatalities in children include misrouting the seat belt through the car seat frame; not using a seat belt; not using or improperly using all the car seat's required parts such as a shield, an internal harness, or a top tether; and positioning the car seat facing forward rather than facing the rear for a small infant.
