Proper Installation is a critical Component when installing infant car seats. According to current Canadian studies, up to 8 out of 10 kid safety seats could be incorrectly installed in Canadian automobiles.

One adequate way to scale back the chance to children from the hazards of collisions or astonishing stops is to restrain them in the correct way. As an example, DaimlerChrysler Canada pioneered kid seat safety with inventions like integrated kid seats, and standard plant like universal lower anchors and tether anchors available on Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep autos.

DaimlerChrysler Canada realized there had been a need for a state kid safety seat inspection service for automobile owners and as an effect developed the Fit for a Kid program. These free inspections are open to all Canadians irrespective of the make or model of their car. "We wish to make certain folks understand how to guard their kids by buckling them up safely," related Ed Brust, Manager , President and Boss man , Fit for a Kid inspections, parents will receive expert recommendation and instruction to promise they are using the correct safety seat for their kid and that it is installed correctly in their vehicle.". "Correct installation of car safety seats and in some cases, their infant car seat covers in addition to guaranteeing the kid is fitted in the seat correctly is even more critical.

The Fit for a Kid inspection process demonstrates to adults, by an approved technician, that their kid safety seat was built to meet Canadian standards and is sufficient for their kid's age, size and weight. If it's not compatible with the kid or is subject to a product recall, DaimlerChrysler Canada will be offering oldsters a loaner seat till they can get a suitable replacement. A Fit for a Kid inspection guarantees that kid safety seats are installed correctly in the automobile and will be offering a cushty yet secure ride.

Parents who visit a participating Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep 5 Star dealership for an inspection, will get a safety tip sheet and activity flyer for their children.

This is very true. Once my husband thought all was well, until we turned a sharp corner and the carseat tilted. Needlessto say that we were more careful next time.
