Car seat inspection; highly rec!

CC.to.be · May 2012

So I went to my local police station today to get both of my car seats inspected. The police officer (who is a licensed carseat inspector) was amazing. SHe was so thorough and properly installed both of my car seats. Not that they were installed uincorrectly she just made them better. She used a pool noodle to get the angles perfect and made sure to explain what she was doing in detail. I guess the gauge on the side of many car seats for the angle is unreliable because they aren't always accurate. I think every parent should get their car seat inspected. I thought my son's was installed perfectly as I followed the instructions to a T, but the angle was still wrong.

It's a free public service that most police or fire stations offer. Just make sure the person helping you is a licensed carseat technician. Just one more way to get peace of mind that your child is restrained porperly.

This is something that we have been meaning to do. We actually stopped at one fire station, but that particular one did not do it. They said that any police station should though.
