PRIVATE CAR SEAT INSTALLATION
TBA, 9-3pm in front of the Park Slope Studio. $125. Email us to make your 1 hour appointment.

Birth Day Presence, in collaboration with Common Sense C.P.R.’s Nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians, is proud to offer private car seat installation at their Brooklyn Location. 

Each one hour session will cover:
• Learning how to properly install your car seat in your vehicle.
• Understanding how to use the infant car seat without it’s base when
traveling in other vehicles, like taxis or rental cars.
• Learning how to properly secure the child in the car seat and how to make
the proper adjustments as your child grows.
• Understanding when it’s time to move your child into the next car seat or
change of position.
• Learning how to properly maintain and care for the car seat.
• Review of overall car safety specific to the child.

According to the New York City Department of Transportation (2010), 9 out
of 10 parents install their child’s car seat incorrectly. This could lead to your
child getting hurt or killed in the event of an accident. Why risk it?
