Car Seat Safety

Every car seat and vehicle is unique, making it tricky to ensure the perfect and safest fit for your most precious cargo. During a car seat consultation, our certified child passenger safety technician will educate you on your specific car seat and assist with its installation, ensuring you feel knowledgeable and comfortable.

Your car seat installation and information session will take place at your home and typically lasts between 60-90 minutes per car seat. During the session, your child passenger safety technician (CPST) will:

  • Ask questions about who rides in your car

  • Review your current seats for appropriate use and sizing

  • Go over your car seat manual with you

  • Advise on accessories

  • Check for any safety recalls

Afterward, the CPST will guide you through the proper installation of your seat. You are encouraged to ask questions, learn how to install the seat in different positions, and explore various installation techniques. We will also discuss the next steps for your child's car seat needs, state laws and best practices, as well as general safety in and around your vehicle.
