Choosing A Car Seat
​(Online Support)

It's one thing to research a car seat online, and a completely different thing to ensure that car seat is going to fit in your vehicle... along with a passenger in the front seat, if rear facing. Let us help you narrow down the choices suitable for your vehicle, your budget and your needs
Online and in store support available.

​Choosing a Car Seat
​(Online Support)

When you begin looking for a car seat, two things are apparent right away... The choices are overwhelming.
There is no "right" seat for every vehicle, every budget, or every scenario.

Let us help you narrow down your options. Online support is perfect for assessing your needs, and discussing all the factors that play into fitting a car seat into your vehicle. We'll chat about what you drive, who else is in the vehicle with you, your ideal budget, your car seat goals, and more. You'll be left with a list of car seat options tailored just to you. It will then be up to you to go try before buying. (We recommend this whenever possible).

At this time there is no fee for online support.

Your In Your Home Info & Install Session Starts Here...

We come to you! Because we have multiple kids ourselves, we understand that when families have young children, it can be a hassle to go out to appointments. We have a flexible schedule, aimed to work around nap times, and bed times, and we work 7 days a week. Your car seat session will take 45 - 60 minutes for one car seat. Plan for an additional 15 minutes for each subsequent car seat.

To help your session go smoothly you'll need:
Car Seat & Manual
Vehicle & Manual

While we recommend having your child at your session; and it's not a necessity. It can be good to have your little one sit in their car seat, to ensure the harness has been adjusted appropriately, and practise using your car seat with them in it.
BUT this isn't always possible, especially if you are still expecting your baby sometime in the future. For these reasons we GUARANTEE our work. We will come back, once as needed, to double check the same car seat's install, and answer any new questions you might have, within 4 weeks of your session with us. If you are awaiting on your baby's grand entrance to the world we will come and see you anytime in the first 4 weeks of life, as needed.
We want you to have peace of mind when it comes to using your car seat!

Please note that we are also happy to meet you at the location of your choosing. Some places we have met with families include... the hospital before they discharge you after giving birth, grandma and grandpa's house, many a parking lot during lunch breaks, and the store where you'll be purchasing your car seat.

"Sonja is amazing and so knowledgable about all things car seat related! Since we moved to Airdrie almost 7 years ago she has helped and advised us through all our car seat transitions. She has done full safety inspections of our seats and taught me how to properly install them. We have had some challenges finding seats to fit our vehicles properly and she is so knowledgable and with her guidance we were able to get seats that installed properly and easily. We are confident in our children's safety in our vehicles and appreciate all Sonja's advice and expertise."

Community Guest Speaker

Community education is a big part of what Compass Car Seats stands for. We want all people using car seats to understand how to use them. Over the years we have brought car seat safety presentations to numerous community groups. These sessions range in length from 45 minutes to 1 hour, and include info tailored to the age group in attendance (newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, school aged). Topics discussed might include the following AND we always leave time for questions. 

Best practises
Proper harness use
​Tips & tricks to obtaining a secure install
​What to look for when buying the next stage of car seat
How to dress children approproietly for winter car seat use
Expires and recalls
When it's safe to move from a booster seat to seatbelt

Each participant will be given a proper use brochure, and coupon for money off a private in home info & install session. 

​At this time we do not charge for this service within Airdrie. Presentations in Calgary are by donation to cover the cost of travel.
