Additional Information for Expectant Parents
If you are an expectant parent, one of our CPS Technicians can assist you with the selection of your new baby's car seat and the safety of other items that go with your safety seat or vehicle.
It is recommended that parents try their car seat in their vehicle and get their seat checked at least three weeks prior to the due date of their baby.
Not every car seat fits properly in every vehicle so make sure to save your receipt, box, tags and packing material until you have your car seat checked.
