Did you know that up to 73% of car seats are used incorrectly? Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death from unintentional injury in children – BUT when the proper car seat is used correctly, it lessens the risk of death by 71%. Properly used car seats save lives. Our car seat checks are designed to educate and boost the confidence of parents and caregivers as they transport children safely in their car seats.

 Some of the things you can expect in our car seat checks are:

• Becoming familiar with your car seat and car seat manual

• Best practices for car seat positioning in your vehicle

• Educating parents & caregivers on installation

• Troubleshooting problem areas

• Going over best practise and safety precautions

• Provide car seat expiry information and recall information

Our car seat checks are provided by one of our Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPST) certified through Child Passenger Safety Association of Canada (CPSAC). If you would like to book a private car seat check or sign up for an upcoming clinic, please complete our Car Seat Form and a tech will be in touch with you shortly.

To note: Car seat checks are available prenatally or with infants/children not in attendance at the check.

Payment options: E-transfer to e-mail address provided by your Car Seat Tech, credit card or cash.
