Recent surveys show that many parents also do not feel that going to a car seat inspection station to have a certified child passenger safety technician to teach the parent how to install, test and use their car seat properly, is necessary. Over 66% of parents felt there will be too long of a wait, and over 65% said it was too far to drive to, and over 63% said they had too many scheduling conflicts to drive far to get help (Levi et al., 2020).
For these reasons, in 2018 the National Telehealth Car Seat Call Center was created with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) certified child passenger safety technicians who have been trained with an effective virtual approach to teach parents how to properly install, test and restrain their child correctly. When parents learn how to install, test and use their car seat, studies who they are less likely to have errors and are keeping their child safe as a passenger (Hoffman, et al., 2016).
