Shannan S.
“For the 1st time in several years, we decided to road trip home for the holidays. I was totally freaked out, and I can honestly say after working through this course, my husband and I are both so happy we found this course. This is just the kind of 2020 feeling I needed as we get ready to hit the road with an infant.”

Jade D.
“As a 1st-time mom, this course was the answer to ending all my late-night internet searches and desperate group texts to friends. Trust me, stop wasting your time searching the interwebs for bits and pieces of information.”

Allen W.
“I’m the dad that thought, ‘how hard can it be?’ Turns out, car seats are not as straight-forward as I thought. This course taught me to look at car seat safety in a new way.”

Ashley A.
“My favorite part about this course is the demos. Literally, step-by-step, Michelle teaches you everything you need to know that no one ever taught you. Nothing like this exists, and it should be required for everyone who transports kiddos – I know it will be for anyone who drives my child!”
“Thanks to Michelle, we were prepared and confident, and with her infant car seat course launch, all parents can get their hands on the resource to show them the way, too. “

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Building Your Car Seat Confidence for me?
I hope so! Building Your Car Seat Confidence is the result of my love for supporting a diverse community of caretakers who are passionate about keeping kiddos safe and are overwhelmed by all there is to know. If you’re like most caretakers I know, that probably sounds familiar, and it’s exactly why I created this course.
This course was designed and thoughtfully created for anyone. Everyone – moms, dads, aunts, uncles, nannies, grandparents, healthcare providers, caretakers of any kind who are interested in brushing up their safety skills or are starting from square one.
Wherever you fall in your journey, I’ll guide you through all there is to know about infant car seats and leave you feeling like a superhero full of lifesaving information. I hope you’ll join me in Building Your Car Seat Confidence.
Is all this information available on your @SafeintheSeat Instagram page or for free on the internet?
Like anything else, some information included in this course is available in bits-and-pieces on Instagram, or you may even find what you’re looking for after countless hours of Google searches.
I created this course for you as a fellow mom and nationally certified child passenger safety technician to put an end to the maddening, time-consuming search for information. I want you to have everything you need in a single place. You deserve that sanity and peace of mind!
I’ve worked soooooo hard to compile this information in this format to make your life easier and because I genuinely believe it has the potential to save your baby’s life.
To be clear, please rest-assured the course content, videos, step-by-step demonstrations, and incredibly awesome workbook that comes along with Building Your Car Seat Confidence will never be available free of charge. To continue serving this amazing community, I must charge for my work so I’m able to keep building, growing, and finding new ways to support you.
Please hear this: If you decide not to purchase this course, I hope you’ll still consider joining the @SafeInTheSeat Instagram community. It’s full of information, updates, tips, and tricks – but more than that, it’s a judgment-free zone full of love and support. Together, we connect in a way that fills my heart, and I want it to do the same for you.
Can't I just go to the fire station or police station or ask the nurse at the hospital for help when the time comes?
Will this course be helpful to me if I have already had my baby?
Yes! No matter where you are in your journey, your baby will be safer because you’ve invested in learning this information. It’s NEVER too late to build your car seat confidence.
Building Your Car Seat Confidence focuses on the first stage of car seat safety – the infant or bucket-style seat. The content on installation and harnessing and the step-by-step demonstrations are shown only using an infant car seat. You may find several techniques, the first two modules, and the FAQ module applicable beyond the infant car seat; however, the course was not explicitly designed for that purpose.
If you’re feeling uncertain, anxious, scared, or confused about something you use every day – this course may be just the stress reliever you need to get you on the fast-track to peace of mind.
Do I need to have an infant car seat before enrolling in this course?
No way! You definitely don’t need to have an infant car seat before digging into this confidence-building content.
The first two modules are all about laying the groundwork, so this is the perfect place to start while you’re waiting on your car seat to arrive.
You’ll learn how car seats save lives and what to expect as your child progresses from one stage of car seat safety to the next. When you reach the part of the course focused on installation and harnessing, I recommend having your car seat close so you can practice by getting hands-on.
If you’re eager to get started, tackle the first two modules. Then, pick back up once you have the one and only lifesaving purchase you make for your baby’s arrival nearby.

Can I purchase a gift card?
Yes! Building Your Car Seat Confidence makes a great gift for expecting families, parents with a baby in an infant car seat, grandparents, caretakers, medical professionals. Anyone and everyone who cares about keeping their baby safe in the seat! Click here to give the gift peace of mind.
