Yes it seems a little brown nosey to give the local CHP a 5 star rating, but I'm really impressed with the service we received a few weeks back. Also, I highly doubt my review here will get me out of any speeding ticket in the near future...
Over the past few months it was brought to my attention that every CHP officer attends 40 hours of training on how to properly install child safety seats. While the install of these seems pretty straight forward, it was nice to be able to have a trained professional walk me through it.
I highly recommend going and doing this if you're expecting a child, or will be transporting a newborn in your car.
The two officers that helped us were super nice, and spent what seemed like some extra time explaining all the ins and outs of what we can expect while using these products.
They also check to make sure that your models are still good to use, and do a quick search to make sure they haven't been recalled.
The service is completely free, but you do need an appointment. They only provide them on Fridays. We showed up at opening, 8 am, and we were one of 3 couples in line waiting to have this done.
Thank you to the CHP for providing this service to the community, I for one, greatly appreciate it. read more
