Article: While both you and your child may be eager to ditch the 5-point harness for a simpler booster seat and seat belt, don't be in a rush to make the switch. Whatever car seat stage they're in, keep your child in that seat until their height or weight exceeds the maximum range printed on the seat and in its manual. Any child under 2 should be in a rear-facing, 5-point harness safety seat. Beyond age 2, keep them in the rear-facing seat until they exceed the seat's posted height or weight range. Once you switch to a forward-facing, 5-point harness safety seat, keep the child in it until at least age 5 and until they meet the maximum height or weight range. If they reach either maximum before age 5, look for a seat model with higher maximums. After they grow out of the safety seat range, use a booster seat that utilizes the car's seat belt until the child is at least 12 years old and 57in (140cm) tall (at which stage a standard seat belt should fit properly). If a car seat has been in an accident, has exceeded the "expiration date" printed on it, or is more than 6 years old, it should be replaced. Steer clear of used car seats unless you are absolutely sure they don't meet any of these criteria. If any of the straps or structural elements of the seat look worn or damaged, replace the seat right away, no matter its age. All child seatsrear-facing car seats, front-facing car seats, and booster seatsshould always be installed in the back seats of vehicles. Front airbags are designed to protect an average adult male, and the force of their inflation can easily cause serious injury to a child. If your vehicle doesn't have a back seat and you have no other driving option, consult the owner's manual on how to temporarily disable the front passenger air bag. This is still more dangerous than a back seat installation, though. Sure, it's possible that the only thing more boring to read than a car seat manual is a car's owner's manual. But read them anyway! It's absolutely essential that you know exactly how to install the seat in your vehicle. Even with some helpful standardization requirements, such as the LATCH system for anchoring car seats in place, there can still be quite a bit of brand-specific variation in the installation process. Around half of all car seats currently in use are installed incorrectly, potentially reducing their effectiveness in a crash. If you have a 2002 or newer vehicle (in the U.S.), use the LATCH system anchor points2 at the base of the seat back, and 1 that's behind and either above or below the back seatto secure the car seat. Find the 3 straps with metal clips on the backside of the car seat, and clip each one securely onto its corresponding LATCH anchor point. Rear-facing car seats may have only 2 anchor straps. If so, anchor them to the 2 LATCH points at the base of the back seat. If you have a pre-2002 vehicle, use the seat and vehicle manuals to guide you through the process of using the vehicle's seat belt to secure the car seat. You'll most likely feed the seat belt buckle through designated slots on either side of the car seat's back, then buckle and tighten the seat belt. Once you've secured the clip on each anchoring strap to its corresponding LATCH anchor, put one of your knees onto the car seat to press it down tight. Then, pull on the loose end of each strap with full force to tighten each one as much as you can. After you lift your knee, the anchored seat shouldn't wiggle more than 1in (2.5cm) from front-to-back or side-to-side. Even if you read the manuals carefully and are sure you've installed the seat properly, you should have an expert check your work and offer tips. Contact your local police department or fire station to see if they offer car seat inspections. Alternatively, contact your government's transportation or highway safety departments, or your car insurance company, for info on inspection sites.

"Promote" your child to the next seat stage as slowly as possible. Avoid used, damaged, or old car seats. Don't put a child safety seat in the front passenger seat. Install the seat according to its instructions and the vehicle's manual. Anchor the car seat's latch clips at the LATCH anchor points. Tighten each LATCH anchor strap as much as possible.

Article: The first section should be taken from the hair closest to one of your ears. Work from the front to the back of your head, using the front point of your comb to separate a strip of your hair. Use a ponytail holder or duckbill clip to secure the other hair in place away from the section you just made. These pieces should be the same size as you would use for a normal cornrow braid. The extension should effectively be folded in half, with the middle point being the point of attachment to the scalp. Braid the extension piece in with the piece of your natural hair that you separated. Combine the natural hair with the extensions, maintaining the three equal pieces. Do one full rotation of braiding, in other words fold all three pieces over the top, before pausing. You will only be pulling out one side of the extension, the other side will get pulled out on the next cycle. Pulling pieces out will repeat like this, with one half of a piece getting pulled out in one cycle and the other half getting pulled out in the next. This way the hair extensions all come out relatively the same length. It's great if you can hook the length of the extension your pulled out onto the hair you have pulled away with your clip. This will keep it out of further braiding, as it will be the first piece of extension that will form the body of your hair. Make sure you are only pulling out the extension hair, not your natural hair. This will insure that your braids do not get too thick and that the previous extension is locked in place. Place it directly in front of where your braid currently stops, folding it around the outside and underneath before incorporating it into the next braid cycle. Ideally, you should continue braiding like this until you are past the endpoint of your natural hair and are working only with hair extensions. Using the outer two sections of hair, secure the braid with a knot. Allow the middle section of hair to fall through the braid. Use these two sections of hair to tie another knot, further securing the braid in place. It is important to avoid tying off the braid until you have reached the end of the natural hair. Tying a knot in your real hair can be very damaging to the hair. In addition, the security of knots tied with natural hair versus extensions is unsatisfactory. It is a good idea to go halfway up one side of the head and then switch to the other side, working your way up the same amount. This way you will be able to more easily assess that your tree braids are symmetrical on both sides.

Section off a portion of your hair that is approximately 1/2-inch wide. Pull one small pieces from the front of the first section of hair you are working with. Place the middle of one of the small bunches of hair extension against your head, in front of the section of hair being worked with. Begin braiding the three pieces of hair. Pull one section of extension out of the braid, pulling it out and away from the line of the braid. Do one more rotation of braid before adding in another piece of extension. Add another section of extension into your hair. Continue this process until the braid has reached your desired length, adding an extension in one cycle, taking a piece out in the next, doing another regular cycle, and then adding the next piece of extension in the next. Finish the end of each line of braid. Repeat this process with small sections of hair until the entire head has been covered with tree braids.
