At Kids N Cribs, car seat installation is performed by a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) — nationally certified through Safe Kids Worldwide. Whether you purchased your seat from us or somewhere else, we’re here to make sure it’s installed correctly and your child rides safely.

🚗 Please bring your vehicle to the appointment. Our technician will install and test the seat directly in your car to ensure proper fit, angle, and security.
What Our Technician Will Do
Every installation appointment includes a full safety inspection. Our CPST will:
- Verify compatibility with your vehicle
- Install using LATCH or seatbelt — whichever is correct for your setup
- Adjust harness fit and recline angle for your child
- Check positioning for your child’s age and size
- Walk you through proper daily use before you leave

Why Proper Installation Matters
Studies show that a large percentage of car seats are installed incorrectly — which can significantly reduce their effectiveness in a crash. A certified technician removes the guesswork and gives you peace of mind every time your child rides in the car.
If you’re still deciding which car seat is right for your family, we also offer car seat and stroller consultations at our Brentwood showroom.
