Before You Arrive

Remember to bring the instruction booklet that came with the Child Protective Seat.  It is the only source for some information that is critical for a safe CPS fit!

Plan to bring with you all the children who will be using the car seats.  Each CPS has to be fitted first to the vehicle seat, and then to the child who will be riding in it.  After the CPS is secure in the vehicle, the angle of the seat, lengths of straps, and placement of the harness buckle must all be adjusted to the individual child for a safe fit.

If you're expecting a baby or babies, please plan to make one appointment for the initial installation before the baby arrives, and another after the happy event. You can schedule your second fitting to be the first stop on your trip to take the new baby home. Again, when the new baby arrives, the angle of the seat, lengths of straps, and placement of the harness buckle must all be adjusted to the individual child for a safe fit.
