Car Seat Training

Though it sounds simple to install and properly secure your baby in a car seat, there are many precautions you need to take to make sure the seat is ready for use. Take part in a car seat training and safety class near you to discover how to protect your baby best.

Here are some topics you will cover in your car seat safety class:

• Types of car seats: Learn which car seat best suits you and your baby’s needs.
• Strapping your child in safely: Discover how to position your baby in the seat, so they’re safe and securely strapped in.
• Rear-facing vs. forward-facing seats: Find out why the position of your baby’s car seat is vital to saving your baby in the event of a collision.
• How to dress your child in the winter: Bundling your baby up to keep them warm in the winter is essential. You also want to dress your baby in clothing that comfortably fits within the car seat. Learn how to dress your baby appropriately for the weather and the car seat in your safety class.
• How long you should use a rear-facing seat: Rear-facing car seats are essential when babies are first born. You will eventually need to switch the seat for a different one as they get older. Find out how to identify the signs for when you need a new seat in your class.

Your safety class may also have a car seat installation course. The course will teach you how to install and remove a car seat correctly. If you use a convertible car seat, learning to move the seat efficiently can save you time.
