What is recommended if a caregiver cannot correctly install a car seat?

Seeking assistance from a certified technician is the best course of action when a caregiver is unable to correctly install a car seat. Certified technicians possess the training and expertise to ensure that car seats are installed safely and correctly, which is crucial for the child's safety during travel. Car seats can be complex, and improper installation can significantly increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. By consulting a certified technician, caregivers can receive hands-on guidance, learn the correct installation techniques, and ask questions specific to their vehicle and car seat combination, thereby ensuring maximum safety for the child.

In contrast, leaving a car seat uninstalled would leave the child unprotected, and relying on online videos may not address specific installation issues or vehicle types, potentially resulting in incorrect installation. Ignoring proper installation altogether would put the child at unnecessary risk, making it critical to seek professional help when needed.
