Child Passenger Safety Seat Class |
|
Parents & Caregivers
Do you need a car seat for your child and cannot afford to purchase one at retail prices? Do you have a car seat for your child, but are not sure how to install it properly in your vehicle?
|
| If you answered yes to one of those questions, then this class is for YOU!!
This informative and interactive class is designed to show you, the parent or guardian how to properly install your child's car seat in your vehicle. If you are unable to purchase a car seat for your child at retail prices, convertible seats and booster seats will be available for a nominal fee. Convertible seats for children birth to 4 years are $20.00 and booster seats for children 4 years to approximately 8 to 10 years old are $10.00. (Supplies are limited to one car seat per child.)
Each class begins in the classroom with a presentation and continues outdoors. Outside, you will install your car seat and a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety expert will be there to help you "every step of the way."
This class is for parents or guardians; however, the information is for everyone who will be transporting your child, so please invite them, you will be glad you did!
