Education through virtual car seat checks is a great way to reach caregivers when you cannot meet with them in person. Parents still need education and children are still being transported. How we provide education and assist caregivers with car seat installations may be different, but our goal is to make caregivers feel that their child is as safe as can be while riding in a motor vehicle. While virtual seat checks are not the same as an in-person appointment, there is great benefit to providing caregivers with education, resources and assistance with their car seats. Virtual seat checks follow the principle idea that the care giver is the one responsible for installing the car seat and securing the child in the seat. Technicians are taught to provide education and support to caregivers so they can successfully install car seats and properly secure their children. Much like an in-person seat check the technician is using the verbal skills they learned in their training to communicate effectively with the parent. This hands-off approach requires planning and patience.
