Car Seat Intro
$90
If this is your first time meeting with a Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST), or it’s been more than 10 years since your last appointment, this is for you! Each 90-minute session offers priceless hands-on instruction and practice with your car seat and vehicle.
Car Seat Review

When you’ve had a professional car seat check previously and are ready a refresher course. Ideal for transitioning to a convertible seat or turning your child forward-facing! This condensed appointment takes about 60 minutes for one car seat.
Car Seat Graduation

Booster seats: simple in theory, easy to get wrong! (Can you spot the error above?) Even a small mistake can have big consequences in a crash. In this 40-minute, kid-friendly session, we will cover safe booster use, when to transition to an adult seat belt, and passenger responsibilities.

Reviews
Yev, father-to-be
“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.”
Angie, expectant mother
“Kelsie was awesome! Very educational, friendly, and helpful. Would highly recommend. Gave us peace of mind and learned things we didn’t even know we needed to learn before our baby’s arrival!”
Sam, grandfather of three
“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.”
Kate, mother of one
