Labeling requirements for car seats are very specific. They must be met in order to pass inspections, and be sold legally in the United States. The label must be white and have black and red lettering to indicate that the seat complies with federal regulations. It should also include a label on the seat's side that lists the model number serial numbers, the date of manufacture and instructions for use.

The straps should be snug but not be uncomfortable. If you are unsure of the fit, use the "Pinch Test". With your thumb and finger, pinch the strap at your infant's shoulder. If the strap is tight enough that it causes discomfort it is time to loosen it.
