As a first-time parent, I found very little support around one critically important aspect: car seats.

When I couldn’t find a go-to resource to help me navigate this complex part of my child’s safety, I took matters into my own hands. I became the expert I needed and founded Safe in the Seat in 2018.

I’m passionate about helping parents feel confident that they’re doing all they can to keep their kids safe in the seat. As a Nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Expert, I have spent years consulting with parents just like you --parents who simply need guidance or reassurance when it comes to traveling safely with their kids.

Sandy is a neonatal ICU nurse with a passion for ensuring the safety of critically ill babies. Since becoming a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) in 2017, she has combined her nursing skills with car seat expertise, fitting even the smallest passengers to ensure they’re safe in transit. As the mom to a child who uses a wheelchair, she’s passionate about accessibility in transit for all kids. Sandy loves working with a team that strives to empower families with the knowledge they need to make safe choices for their children. When she’s not working, you can find her chasing a few steps behind her three young kids!
