Many places sponsor a Child Seat Check station , usually at a local Wal-Mart, in which certified car seat specialists will check your car seats to make sure they are properly installed, etc. I took mine there and was shocked to learn I even made some mistakes that could prove to be fatal - and I was positive I had done it right! I had a brand new car seat and it was RECALLED...I didn't get any kind of notification even though I had sent in the card...whoa! Your local police station should have (or at least can refer you to one) a certified car seat specialist who can look over your car seats to make sure it's being properly installed, etc. Also, you may be surprised to know that not all car seats are compatiable with all cars/trucks/suv...there's a website (I can't remember where) that you can check to see if your car seat is compatiable with what you are driving.
