GoodBuy Gear is dedicated to making high-quality, pre-loved baby gear accessible and affordable. Now, through a collaboration with How-to-SAFETY, New York City (NYC) and New York Tri-State area parents can benefit from expert car seat safety guidance.
Car seats are a crucial part of child safety, but installing them correctly can be challenging for many parents. Mistakes in installation can lead to reduced protection, which is why How-to-SAFETY focuses on educating families for over 10 years, specializing in hands-on car seat safety education. This collaboration with GoodBuy Gear reflects a shared commitment to safety and convenience for parents.
Why Car Seat Safety is Critical for NYC Parents In Particular
For parents in New York, where car travel is a less frequent part of family life due to public transportation, ensuring caregivers are familiar with car seat safety is paramount. Specializing in hands-on car seat safety education, How-to-SAFETY has been educating NYC families for over a decade, focusing on proper car seat installation, usage, and adjustment, whether families are installing a car seat or booster seat for a family trip out of state or a quick Uber ride uptown (traffic pending!).
The Importance of Proper Installation
While many parents take great care in selecting the right car seat, ensuring it’s installed and used correctly is equally important. However, research shows that over 46% of car seats are installed incorrectly. This alarming statistic underscores the need for expert guidance. Common errors, such as loose installations, improper harness use, and incorrect recline angles for rear-facing seats, can compromise a car seat’s ability to protect a child during a crash. Through hands-on guidance, How-to-SAFETY helps parents avoid these common challenges, ensuring confidence and peace of mind in keeping their children safe.
What Families Can Expect
GoodBuy Gear customers in NYC can now take advantage of How-to-SAFETY’s convenient mobile service, which offers personalized, one-on-one guidance from certified child passenger safety technicians (CPSTs). Technicians and instructors focus on educating parents on how to install, adjust and maintain the seat as their child grows. As a special offer, all GoodBuy Gear customers receive 10% off their service (just mention GoodBuy Gear to How-to-SAFETY when signing up).
Join the NYC Car Seat Drop-Off Event
Additionally, GoodBuy Gear hosts a variety of car seat drop-off events at their Brooklyn location, with the help of How-to-SAFETY, providing families the opportunity to ask questions, receive professional guidance, and ensure their car seats are properly installed. The event offers parents a chance to resell their used baby and kid items through GoodBuy Gear’s platform while prioritizing their child’s safety.
