On the top (where the straps hit the tops of the shoulders) or on the chest (just above the chest clip)?
-
on top, but our britax covers are kind of long so they come down his shoulder a little, if that makes sense.
-
I always thought they were more to protect the neck from the edge of the car seat strap, so you'd put them up over the shoulders. Am I wrong?
-
@jmarionsmith: Makes sense!
@Adira: I don't know the answer, that's why I am asking!
-
We put them on the shoulders to protect the neck, like @Adira: said.
-
I put them on the top of the shoulders
-
This makes me feel so much better! I just had a moment this morning when I was like, wait . . . why do I put these here . . . should they go somewhere else?
-
on top of the shoulders!
-
Like @Adira said, on top of the shoulders to protect the seat belt from digging/rubbing against the neck.
-
@MsLipGloss: I had taken them off but put them back on recently when I noticed red marks on lo's neck. I put them on her shoulders and she no longer gets those red marks.
My carseat also has these big chest protector things on the straps so I can't pull the pads down far. I'm pretty sure they go on the shoulders, though.
-
Shoulders for all the reasons noted above, and also to keep him from him biting them when he's bored.
-
The chest clip is supposed to be pretty far up (aligned with the armpit), so I think for most kids they'd be on the shoulders anyway.
