The car seat zebra is a great way to protect your car and child seats from spills, scratches, dust and other unwanted damages. It is made from a polyester blend of fabric that is smooth and feels like neoprene. This material is also very durable and easily washable. This makes it the ideal choice for families with young children who have to spend a lot of time in their car.
The cover can be used with any type of car seat and can be fitted with a tether strap to attach to the vehicle seat belt. The tether strap is attached to the front of the car seat cover with snaps. This strap will help keep the car seat covers in place, even during a fast driving movement. The material is also abrasion resistant and tear-proof. It is also very easy to clean and can be washed in cold or hot water.
When a crash occurs, the car seat will deform and absorb energy much like the crumple zones found in cars. This will distribute the force of the accident across the child’s body, protecting them from injuries. In addition, the five-point safety harness on car seats will hold your child tightly so that they cannot be thrown around or injured.
It is also important to follow the recommendations of your car seat manufacturer and to keep your child in a rear-facing position as long as possible. This will prevent them from being exposed to the impact of a front-facing car crash and will give your child the best chance of survival.
Many people are surprised to learn that most insurance companies will pay for a new car seat after an accident. This is because a car seat that has been damaged beyond repair will be considered unsafe to use. It is important to check your insurance policy for details on what is covered and the requirements for filing a claim.
