Kristin Dykstra, CPST

Kristin Dykstra, CPST I'm here to help you with your carseat and booster questions! This is a volunteer service.

Fun facts about me:
-I LOVE figuring out 3 across in a vehicle!
-I am a big fan of camping.
-I have 3 young kids of my own, so I'm in the thick of carseat use every day.
-If you're local to me, I can gladly meet with you to get your carseats installed correctly.
-If distance is a factor, messaging or video chat is always an option to get things correct.
-Please follow my page so you can learn more about carseat safety!

We're excited to announce the launch of our new children’s book, Clifford Takes a Ride, in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz and Scholastic! This will be a tool for educators and parents to teach kids about child passenger safety in a fun and engaging way. Knowing that a properly used and installed child safety seat can reduce the risk of injury by as much as 71%, we hope that, by promoting safe behaviors and providing families with safety tips, we can prevent more injuries and save more lives.
