Adoptive Parent: Infant Passenger Safety Class

Description

Did you know that nearly half of car seats are installed or used incorrectly, meaning many children are at risk. This class is designed to help adoptive families ensure their child's safety from infancy through the first year of life. Join our Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) certified RN educators to learn about car seat safety for infants through their first year of life.

This course includes discussions, videos, written materials, sample seat belt systems, and car seat demonstrations, along with a hands-on small group activity. Anyone who transports infants is encouraged to attend. It is recommended to take this class before purchasing a car seat, but if you already have one, please bring it with you.

Topics include:

• Installation basics
• Car seat selection
• Avoiding common mistakes
• Additional resources
