Did you know Virginia saw an increase in motor vehicle deaths from 2005 to 2006? Many of these deaths are preventable, and rbranch-cpst.com is here to show you how you can protect your loved ones.

 

There are four stages of safety, for detailed information of each, please click the links to the left. These stages are rear-facing (birth through around 3 years old), forward facing in a five-point harness (3 through about 5 years), belt-positioning boosters (5 through about 12 years), and the vehicle seatbelt (12 years through adulthood.)

 

I'm often asked which seat is "best" for a particular family. The answer to that is rarely one the parent wants to hear: there is no one best seat. The best child safety seat for your little one is the seat that fits your vehicle, your child and that you will use perfectly - every single ride. That said, some seats are appropriate for some situations but not others, and the link on your left labeled "Safety Seat Selection" will help you determine what features will best meet your needs.
