What to Expect During Your Appointment
When you schedule an appointment with us, our team will guide you through the entire process of child safety seat installation. Here’s what you can expect:
- Selection of the Proper Child Restraint: We will help you choose the right safety seat based on your child’s age, weight, and height. This is crucial as different stages of a child’s growth require different types of restraints.
- Proper Placement of Your Child: Our technicians will demonstrate how to place your child into the restraint correctly. This includes adjusting the harness to fit snugly and ensuring that the seat belt or LATCH system is used correctly.
