Child Safety Seat Inspection

It was recommended to us to have our child's safety seat inspected by the police or fire department before the baby comes. They mentioned it in our Labor and Delivery class but I have also gotten that advice from friends. I realize some of you might think it's overkill but to me it just seems like such an easy way to bring peace of mind AND SAFETY.

There are only so many officers in our area that are certified Child Safety Seat Inspectors so it can be a challenge to get an appointment. When I called the department listed and left a message about scheduling an appointment the answering machine said it would take up to 5 days to get a return call. I must admit I was slightly nervous about not being able to see someone until after the baby's due date. Luckily though, mine came in today from a very upbeat officer who was ready and willing to help! The phone rings and I answer it and he says *So happily*, "Hi! This is officer Buckles calling about your child safety seat inspection!" I want to respond but I'm so caught up with the fact that the man said his name is "Officer Buckles" that I couldn't speak. Is that for real? Is his name REALLY Officer Buckles and he works in Child Safety Seat Inspections?

I really must know.

To be continued....

.........my appointment is July 18th at 10am with Officer Buckles.
