Find your best car seat in under 5 minutes!
Michelle Pratt
Founder of Safe in the Seat
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.
