Hello everyone! I know the pandemic has a lot of us staying home, but as we see the province of Manitoba open up, more people will be out driving again. Now is a good time for some car seat refreshers, so I will be posting some tips and information over the coming days and weeks. Feel free to ask questions any time. ... While I am not opening myself to car seat checks in person, I can do assist online via video chat, consult with photos, and answer questions by phone (call or text) or via Facebook. I hope everyone has been keeping well and is safe. Remember, there are no silly questions when it comes to child passenger safety! Take care! ~Cass

Hello everyone! Due to the wide spread flu and threat of rapid-spreadng Covid-19, I will be suspending all non-emergent Car Seat checks until further notice. I am willing to work with you via text, email, or Facebook.... I have an autoimmune disease and taking any unnecessary risks with my health or the health of any babies or children I may come into contact with is not worth it. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns during this period. Thank you. ~Cass CPST

This is a great visual as to WHY chest clip placement is so important. The chest clip placement on the left does not keep the shoulder straps where they are mea...nt to be, and could result in ejection from the car seat and cause internal injuries and bleeding to vital organs in the event of an accident. The placement on the right has the chest clip properly placed and the shoulder straps pulled taut, protecting the child from injuries. Please place your child's chest clip properly with the top of the chest clip at armpit level. #carseatsafety #keepkidssafe See more
