Question 1

What is a CPST?

Accepted Answer

A Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) is a nationally certified professional trained to help families properly install and use child safety car seats. Certification is earned through Safe Kids Worldwide, which administers the nationally recognized Child Passenger Safety Certification Program. During your appointment, I'll make sure your child's car seat is installed correctly, fits your child properly, and that you feel confident using it every day.

Question 2

What happens during an install appointment?

Accepted Answer

Each appointment is personalized to your family's needs. We'll review your child's age, height, weight, and current car seat, verify that the seat is appropriate, install it correctly, adjust the harness, discuss everyday safety tips, and answer any questions you have. The goal is not only a properly installed car seat but also to help you feel comfortable using it on your own.

Question 3

Why should I hire a CPST instead of installing the seat myself?

Today's car seats and vehicles have become increasingly complex, and even careful parents can unintentionally make installation mistakes. A CPST is trained to identify and correct these issues while teaching you how to safely use your child's car seat every time you travel.
