Child Passenger Safety Week Day 5 – Five Point Harness (GIVEAWAY)
 |
Did you watch the video above? You should. And share it. With your kids. It’s really not that big of a deal to keep a child in a 5-point harness.
It is the final day of our Child Passenger Safety Week celebration and we are focusing on the 5-point harness.
At Baby Gizmo we believe that kids riding in a 5-point harness car seat as long as they can is safer. That’s it. It is safer.
We know many parents are itching to move their 3 and 4-year-olds to a booster seat with the seat belt because they just think that is what they are supposed to do. Just because a booster seat CAN be used with a 40 lb child doesn’t mean that you should do that. That is the MINIMUM weight and we aren’t willing to go with minimum.
Here’s the thing: Sometimes seat belts can fail. Sure, it’s rare but it can happen. If a seat belt fails in a crash and you have a little 40 lb four-year-old in a booster seat, there is a chance your child could be ejected from the seat. You never, ever want your child ejected from the seat! A 5 point harness doesn’t fail!
Here is another way to look at it: NASCAR drivers are all required to wear a 5-point harness. Why? Because it is safest! I know you are going to immediately tell me that YOU are not a NASCAR driver but you can’t imagine the amount of force that will hit your child in a crash even if you aren’t doing race car speeds. If car manufacturers would come up with a standard 5-point harness for the regular ole’ mom driver, I would sign right up!
And yet another way to look at it: Do you have a child that sometimes falls asleep in the car? Don’t we all? If you have a small child in a booster seat that tends to fall asleep, their head starts to hang down and their body starts to shift. A seat belt is only good if it is positioned perfectly on the child. A sleeping, shifting child is not positioned perfectly. If that same child was in a 5-point harness, the harness does not shift even if they fall asleep. This same idea pertains to a wiggling child that is trying to hit his sister, reach for a toy, grab something from the floor or basically move around like they have ants in their pants like most 3-5 year olds do. They move around, the seat belt doesn’t stay in the proper position, they are subject to more injury in the case of a crash.
Thankfully, the car seat industry has been evolving with the times and there are many seats available that have a high weight limit 5-point harness. We are talking up to 85 lbs and 57 inches with the 5-point harness! The Britax Frontier 85 SICT will hold up to the average size 11 year old!
Am I telling you that you have to put your pre-teen in a 5-point harness? Well, not really but you can bet that my almost 8 year old is riding in a 5-point and will for a while. Again, I would ride in a 5-point if it was offered! Yet, when we pick up other kids her age (or even my 5 year old’s friends), the kids looks at me in horror as I welcome them into my car with a “harness up, my friend!”.
I don’t care.
I can pretty much bet you that my daughter is probably the only one in her 2nd grade class who still sits in a 5-point harness. Again, I don’t care. And neither should you! Can we just all agree to leave our children in a 5-point harness car seat until they are at least 6 years old? Or longer? Please?
Okay, I’m stepping off my 5-point harness soapbox and getting to the GIVEAWAY!

Because it’s safest for my child and she still fits!
Keeping your child in a 5 point harness longer is better because when they fall asleep it does not move with them as a normal seat belt would, thus a much safer option!!

A 5 point harness is more supportive. Stops the child from falling forward, which is less supportive for the head.

Because it’s safest for children and most younger children can;t sit properly in a booster!
Being the mom of a very active little boy, a five point harness is the safest option for when he gets squirmy. He also tends to fall asleep at the drop of a hat, so it will keep him in the best and safest position possible while snoozing. I plan to keep him in one as long as he can.
I keep my kids in a five point harness as long as possible because its safer…and if you listen to my hubby, apparently I *do* drive like a Nascar driver lol

A 5pt harness can hold your child in position better than a regular seatbelt
Because it’s much safer than a seat belt! Seat belts can fail. Even NASCAR drivers use 5 point harnesses.
My five yr old nephew is in a 5 point harnass and you can bet he slumps and slouches when he sleeps. but BECAUSE of that harness i know he is still safe unlike if he were to be in a booster with a seat belt. 5 point harness = safer, so why not?!
5 point harness is the safest!
5 point harness is the safer because where you put them is where they stay. Without a 5 point harness If they fall asleep, fidget, try to get stuff off the floor, etc you never know where they will end up. It’s just not worth the risk!
Britax is awesome
5pt harness can hold your child in position better than a regular seatbelt.
Wow , the video was great and the review was so good. I almost teared up, I have a 3 1/2 year old currently and have been wondering. When does he need to move to a booster? I have read at “4″ and I thought “Seriously?! He is still so young and little!” The part about them falling asleep, yup almost everytime we are in the car! The thought of him being ejected from his seat because of my lack of knowledge on carseat safety absolutely kills me! I’m so glad you wrote this so now I know that it’s ok and MUCH safer to keep him in the harness as long as possibly. Thanks A MILLION!

We hope that our daughter is so accustomed to wearing her five-point harness that it never becomes an issue of should we or shouldn’t we? Her safety is foremost.

The biggest reason (for me) to keep your child in a 5 point harness is that it keeps them in their seat! If I let my almost 4 year old ride in the car with a booster (and thus, just a seat belt) I can guarantee she’d be reaching for stuff and squirming her way out of it to do other stuff. She was bad enough the last time we had to ride in a plane (she was closer to 3 1/2 then) and I opted to forgo her car seat because I already had to drag her younger sister’s car seat, as well as both girls and everything else all by myself.. Point is, it’s safest because it keeps them where they’re supposed to be.
A five point harness stays in the proper position as long as it is adjusted correctly
I am keeping my four year old in a five point harness because he is not mature enough for a booster. He will not sit properly in a booster seat 100% of the time. Therefore it is unsafe. He will be in a five point harness until he outgrows his Frontier 85.

Have five-point harness does not shift when your child falls asleep.
If NASCAR use it! then why not for my child? it’s the safetest for her since the seatbelt cannot be 100% reliable!
A 5-point harness is the safest for my child!
Because my daughters safety is more important than having her be cool
Keeps child more secure for sure! Need this! Little man has outgrown his infant seat!!!
I’m in no rush to switch my son to a booster seat because I like to know he’s as safe as possible. A seat belt can’t hold your child as snug as the 5-point harness.
Given the option between a seatbelt and a 5 point harness, the 5 point harness is a no-brainer! I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to ensure my child’s safety. Better safe than sorry.
The number one reason is because its safer. You never want to turn around and have your child not in the seat because they climbed out

One reason to keep children in a 5 point harness longer is because younger children are generally unable to sit perfectly still with seatbelt in the proper position for the entire drive, which means they are at risk for ejection or massive internal injuries
A 5pt harness is so much safer for our little ones, why wouldn’t you keep your child in a 5pt harness?

Its best to leave a child in a 5 point harness as long as possible, b/c its safer!! While its rare, a seat belt can fail…
5 Point harness are the safest for my children – one reason to keep them in a 5 point is that a seat belt can’t hold your child as safe as a 5 point harness.
Because it’s the safest option.
keep your kids in a 5 point harness as long as possible because it’s safer! Thanks to your posts this week I”ve decided to put my 40lb 4year old back in a 5 point harness (she went into a booster at 3 years 30lbs when she outgrew her 40lb harness by height, the booster seat says right on it “3years and 30lbs”, so I thought it was ok, I just didn’t know better. I would LOVE to win the frontier, as a 1 income family it’s just not in our budget to buy DD a new seat, I’m talking, we’d have to not eat for 2 weeks to buy a new seat. Hope I win!
I keep my boys in a 5 pt harness longer because it is SAFEST!!!
number one reason it is safer… oh and my daughter naps a lot in the car, so peace of mind (well more so anyway) is always a good thing!

i’m planning on keeping my son in a 5 pt harness because its safer. He has hypotonia so I’d rather be safe then sorry!
the body shifts and a normal seatbelt doesn’t do the job, 5 point harness is best!
I keep my child in a 5 pt harness because it’s the safest! Plus, there’s no way he would sit still in a regular seat belt…
I completely agree. My 6 year old is in a 5 pt harness and I plan to keep him in it for as long as possible. He is one of the only kids in his class to still be in a 5 pt harness. He doesn’t care and I don’t care. I’ve noticed at pick-up that many parents do not even have their kids in boosters and just use the seatbelt.
1) Why use a 5 pt harness? Simply put because it is safest. I want what is safest for my children.

My 6 year old is very skinny for her age. She just outgrew her 5 point harness and we can’t seem to find one with a higher weight limit that we can afford right now. We have 3 other daughters who are all in a 5point harness now and hate to have the oldest out of one. Help!

Because safe = cool
It’s safer because any five year old that wants out of the regular seat belt is more than capable of unbuckling…just like my almost 5 year old does, whenever she pleases! She fought the carseat like no other! I wish I hadn’t given in and she was still harnessed but you live and learn after the first one!

5 point harness is the safest way for my 3 year old to travel. He is very big for his age and I plan to keep him in one as long as he will fit.
it is the safest and more difficult for older kids to unbuckle.
I keep my 6 year old (and my other two children) in a 5 point harness because I think they deserve every opportunity for a safe, happy, healthy life and a safe ride in the car is an easy step in that direction.

My 7 1/2 and 5 year old are still in their 5 point harness seats, along with my rear facing 18 month old. They don’t know anyway else. It is safer to be in a 5 point harness than a booster.
Keep them in them becuase they can’t fit into seatbelts correctly yet for their height and weight. It is also safer for them in a crash since the seat asborbs some impact

My daughter is a very tall 5 year that still sits in her 5 point harness carseat. Like you were saying most of her friend are in these tiny booster seat that use te cars seatbelt and it has always scared me. I’m glad to hear I’m not the only mom keeping her kids in a 5 point harness at this age and size Keep up the great work informing moms
Five point harnesses are safest! And my state requires extended carseats/boosters, so it might as well be 5point!
PS- Your daughter is adorable!
seatbelts can fail in a crash – 5-point harnesses don’t.
My 5 1/2 yo is still harnessed full-time (in ALL cars). She is so much safer that way and will continue to ride harnessed until at least 6 years of age.

My big kid is still in a harness because it’s safer and because she wont keep a seatbelt in the proper position with a booster

As long as they fit in the seat, my kids will be in a 5-point harness. It is the safest was for them to ride in the car
Yes, we do it because it is safer! My baby doesn’t like sitting in a car seat and he moves around a lot so a 5-point harness will keep him strapped in and positioned properly. As a parent it is great to know that his body won’t shift when he falls asleep and it will reduce a chance of injury in the case of car accident!!
I’m leaving my little twins in their 5-point harness for as long as they can be. I feel it is the safest way for them to be in a car. I’m not even putting them on a school bus because they do not have seat belts. I want whats is best for my children.

A 5 point harness doesn’t fail, even if the seat belt does, it’s much safer.
a child not yet ready for a booster seat needs to be in a 5 point harness most children aren’t ready untill age 6
For the great love of my child! I want him to be in the safest and most secure seat in my car. I can always drive safely but I can never guarantee everyone else will. Some days it may take a little longer or I’m running late but once I see him snugly in his Britax 5- point harness a sense of calm returns.

The reason for teh 5 point harness is to keep them safer longer!
My husband is a CPST and my kids will all be in a 5 point harness until the VERY limits of the car seat. If we could retrofit our van with 5 point forever, we would!
You should keep your child in a five point harness as long as possible because a seat belt is only good if it is positioned perfectly on the child.
Because it prevents the seat belt from being in the wrong position!

A five point harness is safer, I don’t think I need any reason beyond that
5 point harness is much safer so as well as ERF we plan to EH as well!
Because it’s safer for your child!!!
We kept our son rear-facing as long as possible because we liked him to have as much protection as possible in case of an accident. Also, because he didn’t mind at all; when he got taller, he just folded his legs. Maybe he knew on some level that he was cozy and safer!
The harness helps protect a child in a side-impact crash, too.

We have kept our kids in their 5 pt harness longer because we have found it a lot more convenient!
5-point harness BECAUSE IT KEEPS THEM IN!!!
for extra security the 5 point harness is best for children under certain heights and weights
I am keeping my child in a 5-pt harness because at as a petite 5 1/2 year-old who was born 14 weeks early, my daughters hip bones are not strong enough to be in a seat belt yet. She also isn’t old enough to keep herself properly situated in a seat belt on long car rides. She knows it’s what safest and she is quick to tell you about it!!!
I will also be harnessing my 2 year old for a very long time. He’s just too busy to be kept safe in a regular seat belt.
I keep my child in the harness because I feel more secure knowing that if we are in an accident he is protected in more than a regular seat belt and because the old car seat he climbed out of

The best reason to keep a kid in a 5-point harness is because it is safest – and it costs nothing so why not?
A five-point harness is safest because they do not fail.
A five-point harness keeps them safer even when they fall asleep and is easier to keep in position than a seat belt. My six year old is still in a five-point harness and is not happy about it—but I am, because the value of her life far outweighs the complaints.
As a parent you want the best for your child; regardless of the circumstance. Having your child in a 5 point harness IS the best for them & as a parent that’s your responsibility… I don’t see why people question & challenge this recommendation it seems like such an easy one to follow.
I’m keeping my almost 5 year old in a 5 pt harness because it’s safer and I’ll do whatever I can to keep him safe!

Duh, it’s safer! What other reason is there?! OH, so they can keep their hands to themselves too!
I keep my child harnessed because she is a wiggleworm, and is in no way mature enough to sit in a booster properly. I also do it to be an example to others, so that I can talk to them about carseat safety when they ask why my child is still harnessed, or why my younger child is still rear-facing.

5 point harnesses keep their wiggly bottoms in the belts the right way!
You can trust your own driving but never the other people on the road..Place your child in a safety restraint everytime to show how much you love them and keep them safe. Never leave their young lives unprotected in a vehicle!
its the safest- I want my children as protected as possible in the chance of an accident
that little girl is SO cute!!! glad she’s safe

Car accidents are the leading cause of infant/child death under the age of 12.
Why wouldn’t every parent take every precaution to make sure their child isn’t part of that statistic! We can’t always avoid the accidents, but we can make sure our children are as protected as possible in the even we are involved in one!

If your child falls asleep in a 5 point harness, they will remain in a safe position, unlike if they fall asleep secured by just a seat belt.
A five point harness will keep the child in place. Btw, my 6.5 year old, 42 pound daughter is still in a 5 point harness and has no issue with it at all, because she knows how much safer it is!!

The 5 point harness is safer and it makes it harder for them to escape.
Keeping them in 5 point harnesses longer ensures they’ll be mature enough when they outgrown the harness and convert to a booster

My older kids all stayed in a 5point harness till they were at least 7 years old and I plan on keeping my little one in one as long as possible too because they are so much safer.
I not only believe in keeping my children in 5 point harnesses longer but I also believe rear facing is safest for as long as possible according to our seats ratings. Why not do everything I can to keep my kids as safe as possible?
It is safer if there is a crash. Always restrained properly!
With 5 kids keeping them in 5pt harnesses is not only safer it prevents various fighting issues like who gets to sit where (everyone in their designated car seat!) and they are some what separated from each other by the seats so they can’t “lean” on each other or touch each other too much. Lots of benefits!
Love the 5 point harnesses since its so so so much safer!! Wish kids didn’t make fun of it though!
A 5 point harness does not shift location like a seatbelt does. It’s the smartest and safest choice! The seatbelt fails at times…the five-point harness never fails!

I’m keeping my kiddos in a five point harness as long as absolutely possible, not only because it’s safest but also because they do tend to fall asleep in the car. I would hate for them to be injured because they weren’t sitting perfectly in a booster and fell asleep. I would love to win the Frontier so I can keep my 4 year old in a 5-point longer!

I will keep my almost 2 year old in a 5 point harness as long as possible, better safe than sorry!!!
Keep them in longer because it is safer and no less convenient!
Cuz it’s safer! And if they fall asleep they wont shift around.
because it is safest!
You should use the 5 point harness as long as possible b/c it won’t fail like a seat belt could.
A 5 point harness is definitely the safer option for children because it will secure their upper body more successfully in the event of a crash.
Seat belts are not designed for kids; a five-point harness is, making it the safer option!! My son will stay in a five-point harness as long as possible!!
A regular seat belt can fail and a 5pt. harness ensures that it will keep the kids strapped in safely (no ejection).

I will keep my almost four year old daughter harnessed as long as I can because it is the safest. My job as a momma is to keep my kid safe and this is such an easy way I can keep her safe. Car accidents are a leading cause of injury and death for children, my daughter’s life is much to precious for convenience or to follow what others are doing or so she can hit a “milestone” of being in a plain belt sooner.
There’s a reason why Nascar drivers use 5-point harnesses…they are safer than regular seatbelts! We gotta protect our kiddos!!

5 point harness carseats keep kids much safer in a crash. We live in FL and as of 4 kids don’t need to be in any type of car seat. CRAZY! My 4 1/2 yr old is outgrowing his convertable car seat. We could really use the Britax booster as I know my husband would rather buy a $20 backless booster than an expensive harness booster.

I keep my kids in a 5 pt b/c I know they are safer. They sleep quite a lot, so I know with a booster they wouldnt be properly protected. My son is at 39 lbs (limit 40) so we have to get a new car seat for him in the next few weeks anyhow, this would be perfect!

5 point harnesses don’t fail like a regular seat belt can. God forbid we ever get in an accident. But if we ever did I’d want my child to be as safe as possible. I can’t control other drivers but I can take measures on my end to make things as safe as possible for a “what if” accident.

Britax carseats are the best, comfortable and safe for my sons.
I once saw a video about a little boy who had horrible injuries because his parents just had him in a booster. The Dr said if he had been in a 5pt he would have just had some bruising and scrapes. That day I vowed to keep my LO rear facing til at least 2 and in a 5pt until he no longer fit…..
I think it is important for all children eysto be safe while riding in the car. the five point system is the answer.
The main reason I plan on keeping my babes in a 5 point harness is for safety! My mind is more at ease especially when someone besides me is driving my little ones!

I will keep my babies in a 5pt harness as long as possible because it is the safest for them.
I don’t want my child ejected out of his car seat if a seat belt fails. If a Nascar driver is safest in a 5 point harness, then my child will be the safest in one, too!
I keep my daughter rear-facing and in a 5 point as long as possible to keep her body safe.
The 5 point harness fits the child better, therefore keeping them safer. Plus, they are harder to get out for those older kids who try to.
It helps keep a sleeping child positioned properly.
My daughters will both be in a 5 pt harness for as long as I can do it. I want the very best for them especially in terms of car safety. So far they don’t think anything about it. Although they are both tall, I want them to be in a 5 pt harness because it ensures the best fit and I don’t have to worry about the harness slipping or failing. Great contest!! I make everyone in my car ride in a harness too.

One reason is because the 5 point harness keeps them safer as seatbelts can sometimes fail in an accident but the harness keeps them snug in their seat.

It’s good to keep your child in a 5-point harness longer because sometimes kids fall asleep in the car and their head and body start to shift, sometimes leaving them in positions no longer safe.

Once they move out of the 5-point harness, they have too much freedom and I have to remind them over and over to sit right in the seat so their seatbelt will work.
Mainly because I don’t feel my child is mature enough to keep the seatbelt in the correct position or fully understand/ agree with why they should. Safety first!

Sometimes I think it is a design that should be used in the adult seats as well. I plan to keep my girls in it as long as possible. The seatbelt in a car is just not designed for a wiggling kid.
Children will stay in the most safe and protected position in case of accident!
Definitely the longer they’re in a five point harness the safer it will be for my little ones!
If you have a small child in a booster seat that tends to fall asleep, their head starts to hang down and their body starts to shift. A seat belt is only good if it is positioned perfectly on the child. A sleeping, shifting child is not positioned perfectly. If that same child was in a 5-point harness, the harness does not shift even if they fall asleep.
It is so much safer to keep them in a 5 point harness for as long as possible, and when it comes to our kiddo’s we want to do whatever we can to keep them safe in the vehicle!

I love the safety that a five point harness can provide!
5pt harness is safer because you never know when a seat belt might fail plus it keeps the child secured in the proper position.
Better positioning
My girls are short and the lap/shoulder belt hits them at about the neck. Can you imagine what that would do to the in an accident.
Kids who tend to fall asleep in the car and/or wriggle around are best kept in a 5point harness seat because it keeps them in the proper seated position thereby reducing risk of injury in case of an accident.
I am not entering the contest as we are already a Britax family. They are worth every single penny! My daughter had the Britax Advantage, an earlier version of my son’s now Britax Advocate CS. She rode in it until almost age 10 – it was comfy and safe. My 3 year old son’s was safe and sound this past May when a woman crossed the center line and hit our minivan head on. Thank goodness for Britax and their 5-point harnesses!
I want to give my kids the best possible chance of leaving an accident unharmed. A 5-point harness does that. Both my 4-year-old and my 15-month-old will stay in 5-point harnesses until we can no longer find seats to fit them.
In event of a crash, the forces are spread over the skeletal body over five points rather than three.

Not only is it safer, but my four year old doesn’t even know the difference! This is all she knows, so why would I change it and put her in a seatbelt only? Plus, it keeps her where she needs to be, instead of all over the place, leaning out of the seatbelt!

We still have our six year old in a Frontier (not sure the model ~ it’s not the newest one) with the five point harness because it safer for him. I agree with all your points, in particular, if he falls asleep (which he did today in just the short 10 minute ride from the grocery store to the house) he is not going to slide down and be in a less than ideal position, God forbid, we are involved in a collision. Thanks for all the giveaways and the trying to get this vital info out. PS. I’ll sign up for a five point harness too if they start making them for adults.
It is safest for a child to stay in a five point harness because they do not fail. So when my son falls asleep in the car (which he does on a daily basis) the harness doesnt move, keeping him very safe.

I’ve seen and had friends in some pretty horrific car accidents. All of them said the seat belt saved them- they even have the bruises to prove it. I would hate if something worse than bruising happened to my child because he wasn’t restrained as well as he could be. So I will use the harness as long as I can with him.
It’s the safest thing for your child! My 5, almost 6, year old is still in a 5 point harness. He can buckle and unbuckle it completely by himself, and doesn’t complain about it at all. I’m definitely keeping him in there until is just isn’t feasible anymore.

Now that my boys are 4y/o & 5y/o I still keep them in a 5-point harness car seat, which I have receive A LOT of grief about!! I am so thankful to know I am not the only one out there who will have their kids in a 5-point harness for longer =) Thank you for supporting the parents out there who also agree!! I totally shared this on my Facebook page w/ a lot of pride!
Minimum is not our approach either. Keep the giveaways and advice coming!
Leave your child in a 5 point harness longer because you love them and want to be safe!
Safety trumps all! My almost 7-year-old is still 5-pointed, and he is 49″ and 53 lbs and in Grade 2. His sister is 4 1/2, 45″ and 49 lbs in a Nautilus. Ok seat, but Britax is so much comfier (and, I think, safer). Could sure use one!
This made me so happy! My 5-year-old is still in a 5-point-harness and I have caught some major flack about it. So glad to see others doing this as well. The safety of my child is more important than the judgments received.
