We host car seat safety classes each month for parents and caregivers to make sure their car seats are installed and being used the right way. (Details below)

Quick Car Seat Tips:
1. Inch Test: Grab the car seat base and try to move it. If it shifts more than an inch, tighten it. Ask someone to help if needed.
2. Pinch Test: Buckle your child and try to pinch the harness strap at the shoulder. If you can pinch it, it’s too loose. The chest clip should be at armpit level.
3. Forward-Facing Readiness: Switch to forward-facing only when your child is at least 2 years old and has outgrown the rear-facing seat’s height or weight limit.
4. Use the Top Tether: Always use the top tether with forward-facing seats. It reduces movement in a crash. Check your vehicle manual to find the tether anchor location.
5. Booster Seat Graduation: Use a booster until your child is at least 8 years old and 4’9″. The seat belt should fit across the shoulders and chest—not the neck or stomach.
