Car seat
The right seat, installed so it does not move. The seat only protects the child if it matches their size and the car. A guess on the belt path is not an install.
For Dads installing a seat before the first ride, or rechecking it after a growth spurt.

Car seats and booster seats
The federal page for which seat, the belt path, and when a booster is the right seat. DadLane does not certify an install.
For Dads putting a seat in the car before the first ride, or rechecking it as the child grows.

Forward-facing car seat install
Safe Kids Worldwide on the top tether, the belt or the lower anchors, and the inch test. Short on purpose. Both manuals still rule.
For Dads moving a child to a forward-facing seat because the seat's own limit says so.
