Should the child be present during the car seat installation service?

Your child may be present, however it is not required.

• It’s best to have the child attend a car seat checkup to make sure the seat fits them properly.
• If your child will not be present during the seat check, we may need to know your child’s torso height (seated shoulder height). Here is how to measure it:
  • Sit your child into the car seat and note where the child’s shoulders are relative to the back of the seat (or between which harness slots are the shoulders).
  • Alternately, sit your child on the floor against a wall. Measure up from the floor to the top of the shoulder.
