Did you know that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children from 4-14 years old and an average of 6 children ages 0-14 are killed each day in car crashes?
Research has found that when properly installed, car safety seats reduce fatal injury by 71% for infants less than one year old and by 54% for toddlers (1-4 years old). In California, children under the age of 6 or 60 lbs. need to be restrained in car seats. This certainly says quite a bit about how this state feels about car seat safety, yet too many infants, toddlers and children are in seats that have not been installed correctly. Even the most mechanical of parents may not be completely accurate in how the seat or the base is positioned in the car and it is the recommendation of Gentle Nurturing that you have a professional installer put the base or seat in each of your cars for you.
You can take the time to find a location near you and make an appointment for a Saturday morning in your last trimester, or you can let one of our techs come to you. They have all the equipment needed and will contact you to ascertain which seat you have purchased. They are up to date on recalls or what extra equipment might be needed and will provide that to you as well. It will be a small price to pay to assure security and safety.
