🚗 **Car Seat Clinic Update – New Indoor Location!** 🚗

Well…after looking at the weather forecast this VERY snowy morning ... Alberta spring has spoken ❄️🥶

Due to the colder temperatures forecasted for April 1st (and it looking like it’s only getting chillier!), we’ve made the decision to **move the clinic indoors** so everyone can stay warm and comfortable.

📍 **New Location:** West End Nissan | 18010 Stony Plain Road

There are still spaces available on both the Edmonton and Calgary course.

This is a great reminder to check the manual before cleaning your car seats.

If you need assistance, you can always DM us or find a local CPST in your area here

When a car seat gets dirty, parents often wonder: hose it off, toss it in the washer, or throw it away?

The answer depends entirely on the manufacturer’s guidelines for that specific seat. Car seats are carefully engineered systems—fabrics, foams, harnesses, and chest clips all work together for safety.

Cleaning methods outside the manual can damage these components or change how they function in a crash. That’s why taking a few minutes to read the instructions isn’t just about cleanliness—it’s about keeping your child as safe as possible.

Need help navigating your car seats manual? Reach out to a local Child Passenger Safety Technician (search here: https://bit.ly/SafeKidsTechSearch) or find a local fitting station where Child Passenger Safety Technicians are on staff and ready to help you make sure your child is riding safe in the car!

We’re hosting a hands-on car seat clinic where newly trained Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) will be completing car seat checks under the direct supervision of certified instructors.

This clinic is part of their final certification process — which means you’ll receive thorough, education-focused support while helping new techs gain valuable real-world experience.
