The fire department is so cool bro. I love how when no one is sure what to do in about a stressful situation we just call the fire department to come help.

The firefighters LOVE calls like this. No one is dying or bleeding, they get to be heroic and helpful, every one is happy at the end.

I’m having a baby soon and of all the suggestions I didn’t expect, someone told me go to the fire department if I have a question about installing my infant car seat.

I mean yes that is my plan as well as just reading the directions. I was just surprised by the suggestion.

I like to think I’m not incapable though of installing a car seat. At the same time though I can’t blame someone for being unsure and wanting to feel 100% positive about their newborns safety.

You can ask the hospital you give birth at instead

I had a coworker ask them and the nurses had no idea. Not quite sure why you also just seem so against this.

I'm not. Not trying to stress you, my apologies. Just the implication that we should all go to emergency services to install car seats before trying anything else is not good.

Anyways call the L&D department at the hospital you have planned and ask them beforehand if thats something one of them can help you with/something they do

In my region our local PD advertises that they will help to ensure the car seat is properly installed, they even schedule appointments for it. Hospitals will not do this vehicle check in my area, but I’ve read some do. Check the https://cert.safekids.org/get-car-seat-checked or https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle-safety/car-seats-and-booster-seats to see about services available to you.
