 Need to fit 3 across or try different configurations within your vehicle?

Meet at my location to work with your existing car seats to determine if a safe fit and installation is possible, both 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.
