Child Passenger Safety Technician
Teaching you how to keep your children as safe as possible in a vehicle
I started learning about car seat safety a few years ago, and became very interested in it and how to keep kids as safe as possible in cars and other modes of transportation. There is so much uncertainty in the world, but this is one way that we can protect our kiddos as best as we can. I am a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST), and I have been studying current laws, science backed research, studies, and best practice concepts. Studies show that between 60-80% of car restraints are improperly used (install or fit), which can make a huge difference in the event of a car accident. And unfortunately, laws are not always up to date with best practice. Different states/countries have different laws, but we know that physics doesn’t change just because we drive over a state line. Times change, equipment changes, technology advances, but safety is still the number 1 concern. We know better, so we do better.

Did you know that MOST kids need to be in a booster until age 10-12? That’s when the vehicle seat belt can properly fit (and keep a person safe)! Remember, the point of a carseat/booster/seatbelt, is to keep every passenger safe in the vehicle!

I am happy to help you with the fit of your child(ren) and/or the installation of the carseat(s) in your vehicle. I can also give you tips to keep YOU and other adults safe in the car! And if you want confirmation that your kiddo is ready to be without a booster, I’d love to help check their seat belt fit (usually some seating positions offer better belt fits than other seating positions, even in the same vehicle!). Not all car seats work in all vehicles, or even in all seats in a vehicle. The safest seat is the one that you get a good install with every time you use it.
