  • Car seat safety demonstration (in-person)

    Aprender a usar el nuevo asiento para el automóvil suele ser el último paso para prepararse para la llegada de un nuevo bebé. En el caos y la emoción antes de que nazca el bebé, esto no siempre se hace bien o en absoluto. Los asientos para el automóvil a menudo vienen con largas instrucciones que los padres pueden no leer o entender completamente, lo que hace que muchos asientos para el automóvil se usen incorrectamente. La demostración de seguridad de los asientos para el automóvil brinda a los futuros padres y a los nuevos padres la oportunidad de concentrarse en el uso adecuado de un asiento para el automóvil.
