If you’ve ever had to deal with a twisted strap on a child’s car seat, then you’ll know just how annoying and time consuming it can be to sort out.
Twisted straps can not only be frustrating and uncomfortable, but they are also potentially dangerous, so it's really important to get them straight again. A flat shoulder strap spreads the load of an accident evenly across the point of contact with your child. This reduces the forces applied to their shoulders and chest.

To minimise strap twisting, InfaSecure advises:
- Fasten the harness when not in use.
- Straighten the harness each time you use it, even if there’s only a half twist.
- Don’t let your children put on / take off their straps if they’re not able to keep them straight.
