Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get my car seat inspected?
It's recommended to get your car seat inspected when you first install it, when you switch to a new car seat, when your child moves to a different type of car seat, or if you're unsure about the installation. Regular check-ups every few months are also beneficial.
What should I bring to the inspection?
Bring your car seat, the car seat manual, your vehicle owner's manual, and your child (if possible). This helps the technician ensure the car seat is properly installed and adjusted for your specific vehicle and child.
