In this conversation, Chanelle Longueve, a child passenger safety technician, discusses the complexities of child car seat safety.

The discussion also covers essential tips for harnessing children properly and lesser-known safety rules that caregivers should follow. Overall, the conversation aims to equip parents with the knowledge they need to ensure their children's safety in vehicles. Channelle’s Bio: I'm a mom of three little ones, all five and under, and I've been living in the Lakeway/Bee Cave area for over six years now. When I had my first baby, I remember feeling a mix of doubt, confusion, and overwhelm when it came to car seat installation and safety. I even hired CPSTs virtually to make sure my car seats were installed correctly. That experience sparked a passion in me, and this year, I became a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician! I'm beyond excited to help local families feel confident and at ease, knowing their little ones are as safe as possible on the road.
