Request for Virtual Car Seat Check

"*" indicates required fields

If you would like someone to contact you by email to schedule a virtual car seat check, please provide all the information requested on this form, check the hold-harmless agreement box, and click Submit. Then, watch your email for a message from a technician, usually within a couple business days. If you don't hear from a technician after a few days, please send an email to info@saferidenews.com to let us know. NOTE: The information you provide will not be shared with anyone for any purpose other than to assist you with the education you've requested on the proper use of your child's car seat.

A car seat checkup is an educational opportunity. Please be sure to prepare in advance by reading your car seat and vehicle owner's manuals. Also, before the meeting, please try installing the car seat on your own. If your baby isn't born yet, be sure to have a doll or stuffed animal on hand so that you can practice harness use.
