CAR SEAT SERVICES at Serenity Birth Studio:
***NEW*** Car Seat Sales
Serenity has now started stocking car seats! So far there are a few infant and convertible car seats to choose from but we will soon be expanding the selection and adding strollers as well. Visit in-person to learn what type of car seat is best for your child and vehicle, and try seats in your vehicle before purchasing. With the purchase of any car seat, you will be entitled to a FREE "Installation Check & Education Session". During this appointment , you will learn everything there is to know about using and installing your new car seat properly!
Car Seat Installation Check & Education Session
Inspection of installed car seat or booster, assessment of harness or seatbelt fit on the child (or a harnessing demonstration on a newborn-sized doll), and a review of safety topics and best practices. To prepare for the appointment, please read the car seat manual in full and attempt the installation to the best of your ability. This will help facilitate your appointment and enhance your learning experience!
COST:
- $30 for one car seat/vehicle. For infant seats, please add $10 to inspect the installation of an extra base in a 2nd vehicle in the same appointment.
- If you have one car seat in 2 different vehicles, a separate appointment is required for each. First car seat/vehicle is $30, second car seat/vehicle is $20.*Note: 2+ car seats per vehicle are best suited for a private appointment. Please message me to arrange a date and time to meet.
- $20 for repeat clients (ie: upgrading from infant seat to convertible seat or transitioning from rear-facing to forward-facing). One car seat/vehicle per appointment only.
DURATION: 1 hour per appointment
