I really need to know if there is such a thing as a "Car Seat Clinic" ??!! Is it possible to get a CPST to come and give a class on how to correctly install a car seat? I don't necessarily mean a check point but a class?
As some of you know I am a foster parent and today I had my fill about car seats that other foster parents AND social workers are installing.
I have seen a small child rear facing in a GN (the installation was very interesting to say the least), harnesses very, very loose, child only restrained with harness and chest clip- not buckled, seats very loose installed in cars - I could go on and on but today beat them all.... an infant seat only attached with the latch on the tether hook!!!!
I NEED to get a class going- for the safety of these kids!
Those foster parents and social workers DO want to find out how to do it right but have no idea how to
Is there any way that a CPST would do a class on that- just at least to teach the basics on installation and how to put a child in it?
Thanks!
