Free Car Seat Checks
By appointment only!
Have your car seat checked by a child passenger safety technician every Tuesday between 10:00 am and 3:30 pm.
To ensure the seat is the proper seat for your child it is best to bring your child with you for the check. We will perform an inspection to ensure the seat is installed correctly and the harness is adjusted appropriately, as well as determining if the seat has been recalled or is expired. Call Penny at 779-696-6088 to schedule your appointment.
