Question chest clip question

This popped up on my fb and I thought YAY for them using baby in the middle seat rear facing. Then it got me thinking. I've always put the chest clip across the chest around armpit level. Some people have asked me and I always say it belongs there. Does chest clip position vary from seat to seat? But then I got to thinking maybe it's placed wrong in the photo. Just looking for clarification so I'm not telling friends and family the wrong thing.


OK..so the photo on my fb didn't show up...but maybe someone can clarify without the photo? The chest clip looks about 1-1.5" above the buckle and it looks like a graco myride. It's one the Temple Walmart FB page if anyone is local.

I can't see your picture but to answer your question the chest clip must ALWAYS be at armpit level on all seats.

I thought so. Thanks! the chest clip looks really low in the photo on the belly area and it looks like the toddler is actually holding onto it/messing with it.

Friends and family often ask questions about car seats I was thinking they ALL should be at armpit level and knew it was like that for all the seats the I have used but didn't know for sure if it was correct saying all chest clips go at armpit level. :)

When talking to family and friends it may be helpful to remind them that it's called a chest clip- not a belly clip ;)
