A MOPS group has asked me to do a quick presentation on car seat safety (10-15 mins). My typical presentations consist of about an hour or so, so I'm having a hard time deciding what to keep in and take out. Suggestions on what to cover?

ERF, ERF, and more ERF! I think that's what people are the most lacking in knowledge about.

I typically bring an example of the different types of seats and go over proper fit. Should I bother bringing them in or is it just not worth the hassle for such a short presentation? I also tend to go over aftermarket products. Since it's getting close to fall/winter, I'm thinking it would be a good thing to go over. I have a handout with examples of these, should I just pass over them quick or spend a little bit of time on those too? There's just SO much info that I like to share, and it's hard to figure out what to keep.

I think RF to 2+ & limits, FF to limits (beyond age 3-4), booster til 4'9" But with MOPS being toddlers, I would hit the first two most and just touch on boosters. DEFINITELY touch on aftermarket products!

Be sure to have fliers and business cards to hand out, and seats to show if parents have questions about the stages of use.

Have fun!
