 Don't need to purchase new seats?

Meet at my location to work with your existing car seats to determine if a safe installation and configuration is possible (ie: 3 across) now and in the future as your children grow. Taking out and re-installing your current seats in different seating positions within your vehicle is often necessary to determine a safe set-up.

$25 for one car seat

$15 for each additional car seat 

***Note: there is NO CHARGE if I simply take a brief look inside your vehicle to assess the space and give my *best educated guess* on what may or may not work.
