Northwell Health Virtual Car Seat Checks

Cohen Children’s Medical Center wants all of our children to travel safely in cars. Installing a car seat for younger children and babies can be a challenge. During the virtual car seat check you will work with a certified child passenger safety (CPS) technician, who will guide you through installation basics as you install your car seat. This is an educational virtual event, please take the time to read all directions prior to your appointment. This may be the most important thing you learn. Here are some tips on how you can prepare for the event:
 

• Take your car seat out of the box and practice installing the car seat in your vehicle before your appointment.
• Read the instructions that came with the child car seat and the instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual regarding car seats.
• Have both on hand for the virtual check.
• If your child is already born, know your child's weight and height.
• Directions will be emailed to you after you have registered 1 week prior to your scheduled appointment.
