Instructor: Mary Johnson

The B.E.S.T (formerly C.A.R.S) curriculum is a hybrid training.

The online “Car Seat Basics” portion of the training takes about 1 hour to complete with a 10 question quiz at the end. The in-person portion will take approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour and function similar to a car seat checkup where the caregiver needs to demonstrate they can install their car seat with the facilitator's guidance. Proof of completion of the on-line portion must be provided at the time the in-person portion of the training takes place. No exceptions. Please note: the on-line portion must be completed no sooner than 30 days prior to the hands-on portion.

The B.E.S.T. in-person portion of the training will take place between the hours of 10am to 1pm on date specified. The B.E.S.T. facilitator, Mary Johnson, will email you the exact time that you will be scheduled during that time slot for your in-person portion. Therefore, registration will close 4 days prior to the training to allow exact times to be allocated. Please be punctual. If you fail to show up, you will have to register for the next training.

Important: The expectation is that each person will be familiar with the car seat and vehicle used for the installation before arriving for in-person portion. Familiarity with the car seat and vehicle will help ensure that the in-person portion can be completed in a timely manner.

Please note: B.E.S.T will no longer be using the Develop website.
