Car Seat Safety (online or onsite)

One of the most important jobs you have as a parent is keeping your child safe when riding in a vehicle. More than half of car seats are installed incorrectly.

Hands-on safety information for installation and use in the first years provided. Practice using and installing your car seat on a simulation seat with a Certified Car Seat Technician (CPST).

By the end of this class you will feel confident in:

🚗 Installing your car seat in any vehicle

🚗 Rear-facing and when to turn baby around

🚗 Buckling and using a car seat properly

🚗 Finding local car seat checking stations

🚗 Age/weight/height limits on your car seat

**This class is most beneficial if you have already purchased the infant car seat you plan to use. We will be working with them hands on during both online and in person classes. Please have them out of the box and ready to work with.**

According to the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) 2021 motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 2-14. A 2016 OSUH study found 80% of car seats are installed incorrectly and for new parents 93% are misused.
