You may see some new standards rolling out for car seat crash testing and design. This does not mean your current car seat is unsafe or you need to replace it.
The most important thing is you are installing and using YOUR car seat correctly. Attend one of our events or make an appointment with an inspection station for help from a CPST!

Thanks News Channel 3 WWMT TV for helping us spread the word! Check out the graphics on our page for more information about the new laws.

Focus on the things you can control inside the vehicle:
1. Set an example by wearing your seatbelt.
2. Be a smart driver; don't drive distracted.
3. Make sure kids are secured in appropriate car seats/booster seats AND they're installed correctly in your vehicle.

Please come see us at an event or inspection station if you have any questions, we are here for you!
