If you're interested in this FREE service for your car seat (any brand welcome!), please complete this questionnaire to set an appointment: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VirtualCarSeatCheck.
Did you know that nearly 60% of car seats are installed incorrectly, or not used properly? Attend one of our upcoming car seat checks to be extra confident you're using the right car seat for your child, as well as installing and using it correctly each and every time.
What is a car seat check?
At a car seat check, you will meet with one of our a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST), who will assist you with your car seat installation. The CPST will help show you the correct way to install and use your car seat, provide safety recommendations, and answer any questions that you may have.
To ensure our CPST is prepared when you arrive for your appointment, you will need to provide your child’s age, weight, height, the make and model of your car seat, and whether your child rides rear-facing or forward-facing.

For best results, please bring:
- Your child
- Your vehicle and vehicle owner's manual
- Your car seat(s) and all parts, accessories, and instructions
