Did You Know?

Child safety seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants and by 54% for toddlers, but 3 out of 4 child car seats are installed incorrectly. Nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians at AAA can help make sure your seat is properly installed with a car seat inspection.

What to Expect

First, we'll check to see if the car seat has been recalled and ensure you're using the correct seat based on the age, weight, and height of your child. Then, we'll demonstrate how to correctly install the seat.
