As a parent with some experience with kids who have Special Needs...

  • I help parents narrow down their carseat selection
  • teach parents how to install & use their carseats correctly
  • encourage & inspire children to appreciate safer rules
  • help families in financial need to receive brand new safe carseats

 

Crashes are the leading cause of death for kids

4 out of 5 carseats have an average of 3 fatal misuse errors

(Crashes are also a leading cause of brain damage, paralysis, seizures, amputation, etc.)

  • Always read & follow both vehicle + carseat manuals
  • Keep kids rear-facing until the maximum limits of an appropriate convertible carseat 
  • Keep kids harnessed until the maixmum limits of an appropriate forward-facing 5-point carseat
  • Keep kids boostered until they pass the 5 STEP TEST
  • Get your carseats checked by a certified CPST (toll free 1.866.SEATCHECK)
  • The "best" carseat fits the child, fits the vehicle & is always used correctly
