Car Seat Safety

"My son Keagen is 7 months old and switching to the bigger car seat but i am worried it is not securely in my vehicle. Do you know where I can take it to make sure it is...do all fire stations check them for you??
thanks

GM holds a monthly carseat clinic, but if you can't wait until then, I heard that the police station downtown will check them for you :)

If you can't make it to the FREDKID fair (which sounds like it's going to be a ton of fun!!!) Ford is doing a clinic next Saturday too.

Everytime I find out about a clinic its always a weekend that my mother has my son (and carseat!!) Im 99.9% sure my seat is properly installed but you can never be too certain!

Actually did you know that over 80% of people don't have their car seats installed properly? I think the firestations will inspect them for you too.

Ya thats a very scary stat!! We got our infant seat checked at a clinic and we watched him to do. Ive also talked to many more car seat inspectors online and I know Ive got all the "rules" down but you still never know what else can be done.
