Car Seat Review – $70
When you’ve previously attended a car seat check and are ready for a refresher course. Great for transitioning to a convertible seat or turning your child forward-facing! This condensed appointment takes about 60 minutes for one car seat.

Testimonials
-
Kelsie was super helpful and informative. We thought we were well prepared, but we learned a lot of additional details that we didn’t know about. She was also very flexible with our schedule, approachable, and professional.

Incredible value and super helpful information. I think about your tips for installing and putting my daughter into her seat all the time. I’ve already referred you to friends!
—Kate, mother of one

Stop Looking… Use Kelsie! I read the instruction manual, and my eyes glazed over. There are too many straps and configurations for mere mortals. She was very knowledgeable, supportive, patient, and crystal clear. She took the time needed, and I now have the invaluable peace of mind that the kiddos are safe.
—Sam, grandfather of three
