Plans

Something that I have been a huge advocate for since before Keylan was born is car seat safety. I feel like I have seen just about everything with car seats and have heard all the excuses that I can hear. I am always willing to help a parent, grandparent, friend, or any one that transports children. When Shiana was born I was not educated and I am so thankful and blessed that nothing ever happened to her in the car. I did everything wrong; straps to loose, buckle on her belly, jackets on under straps, and the worst is forward facing her at 8 months old. I found a awesome group of women that I have learned so much from and from there I have researched and learned even more on my own. I can give advice and tell why not to do something from experience, but people always ask "Why should I listen to you? You do not have any credentials to tell me what I am doing is wrong".  So now I want to take my teaching to the next level. I am looking at getting CPST certified. There is a course that is going to be close to me and I am trying to make plans to attend. After finishing the course I will be certified and can then answer "Well I am certified in child passenger safety" and plan to have cards made to give out if they ask for one. If I can have just one infant or child protected that is all that matters to me.
