Michelle Pratt - Safe In The Seat of *The* Judgement Free Expert of Child Car Seat Safety

#77: In this episode were joined by Michelle Pratt of Safe in the Seat. As a mom and nationally certified child passenger safety technician, her judgment-free approach is beyond refreshing to helping turn car seat confusion into straight-up confidence. Through online courses, helpful YouTube Videos, and daily doses of safety tips and tricks, Michelle is empowering caregivers to keep their most precious cargo safe in the seat.

As parents of 3 children under the age of 5 we personally have first hand seen how difficult it is to navigate the hundreds of options of car seats and sometimes the more difficult task of installing a car seat and making sure its the right fit for your little ones. Michelle helps parents of children of all ages in their car seat journeys. This is the car seat we have for Brody and love and this is the one we use for Ezra now. Cooper uses this car seat/stroller combo!
