FAQ
How much do you charge?
I would never want anyone to forego help with car seats because of cost. As of August 2024, I have just raised my rates for the first time (since 2015) to reflect the market rate and my increased experience and leadership within the industry. Within my service area, when I come to you, I ask for $60 total for one or two seats, and $75 total for more. If you come to my house (address provided upon booking, near the Scottsdale airport), I ask for $40 total for one or two seats, $50 total for more.
If my rates are above your budget, I will still help you at my home for whatever you are able to contribute - no questions asked.
For video appointments, I ask for $40.
For phone call consultations without an appointment, I charge $25.
What methods of payment do you accept?
Pretty much all of them! I accept and prefer credit cards or electronic payment (Zelle, Venmo, Paypal etc), but I also accept cash and check.
How long does an appointment take?
Generally, 30-45 minutes for one seat, or an hour to an hour and a half for more seats. Once I know your specific seat(s) and vehicle(s), I'll be able to give you a more accurate estimate.
Do my kids have to be there?
It's ideal if they are, but it's not required. If they're not, we will discuss how to adjust the seat and tighten the straps, and we can jump on a facetime or video call if you'd like when you do put them in the seats.
What if I'm pregnant?
Congratulations! 36 weeks, give or take, is the ideal time for this appointment. I'll bring a newborn-sized doll and we'll learn how to use the seat with it.
What if I just had my baby and didn't do the appointment while I was pregnant?
No worries! I'm happy to meet you anywhere you need help, including the hospital parking lot!
My baby is a preemie and needs a car seat test. Do you help with that?
Yes, absolutely. I've consulted on many of these and can help you and the nurses position the baby correctly.
Can you help get me ready for when my grandchildren come visit?
Sure! I do grandparent appointments very frequently. I'll need to know the age and weight of your grandchild to make sure you've selected the right seat.
Can you help me with my nanny's car? My friend's car for carpool?
Of course! I'm happy to help keep your child safe in any vehicle he/she may travel in.
Do you do appointments at night? In the rain?
Not much rain here in Arizona! Nevertheless if there is, I'm still happy to meet with you. Night is completely fine - the interior of the car combined with a phone flashlight or two will give us enough light to see what we need.
I have another question you didn't answer here.
