Car seat safety may not be the first topic on the minds of new and expecting parents, but it's a really important one to get right.

Learn from a Child Passenger Safety Technician about a way to choose a seat, check the installation and harness, avoid common mistakes, and know when to ask for hands-on help.

Nile Nash is a certified nurse midwife and Child Passenger Safety Technician. She explains how to match a seat to your child, vehicle, and family, then use both the child-restraint manual and vehicle manual to make the safest practical choice for your exact setup.
