Knowing how to properly install your baby's car seat each time they are in a motor vehicle is important. Road injuries are the leading cause of preventable deaths and injuries to children in the United States. Moving children too soon to the next stage of car seats is a common mistake parents make. Correctly using a child safety seat can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71 percent. This class will teach how to install a car seat correctly, when to move your baby to the next car seat size, when to change from front-facing to rear-facing, and tools to keep your child safe in cars.
