TESTIMONIALS

I contacted René via WhatsApp for a consultation to help me choose the right car seat for my vehicle, which doesn’t have a top-tether anchor. She was incredibly diligent and patient in answering all my questions, and the report provided by her and Gail was thorough and extremely helpful. I was able to find a beautiful, comfortable, and safe seat—all within budget.

The safety of my children is my number 1 priority. Therefore knowledge is key. I struggled with installing the car seat and securing my baby in a safe position, the franchise where I bought the car seat had demonstrated but to my surprise it was the incorrect way to install the car seat and faced the wrong way for her age and therefor, they put my child at risk without my knowing. Invest in your child’s safety and take the time to learn and execute the correct safety measures. The service and advice received from René Grundlingh was beyond excellent, what an expert in her field!

There are many times as a mom that you feel insecure or judged because someone shows you a better (or safer) way in which to protect your child. René, non-judgementally, explained and showed me what could go wrong with how I (wrongly) installed our infant car seat, how we could and should improve on its installation and use to provide optimal safety and showed me that my daughter had already outgrown her infant car seat in height, though she was still well within the weight limit. She then helped install the multi-stage car seat in toddler mode, walking me through it step-by-step, explaining as far as she went what the safety measures were and answering any questions I had. She is knowledgeable and kind, and I would highly recommend her to help install your car seat.

I was overwhelmed with so many car seat choices in my max budget of +- R4000 and I booked a Comprehensive WhatsApp Consultation at The Car Seat Emporium who expertly narrowed down options. René accompanied me to my nearest Baby City for an In-Store Buying Consultation where she fitted the 3 shortlisted seats in my vehicle and I could choose one with a happy heart. I chose between the 2 seats that fitted my budget, vehicle, lifestyle, child and the one I was most comfortable handling and installing myself.

I purchased the Comprehensive WhatsApp Consultation and received a detailed report with car seat recommendations within my max budget of R5000. I chose the Bambino i-Swivel 360 which fits perfectly in our vehicle and lifestyle and is so easy to install - love it.

It's one thing to buy a fancy car seat and put your kid in thinking you've done the best thing for them. It's another thing to know you've bought the car seat best suited to their individual needs and have it installed correctly. There are so many seats on the market and although I tried to do my own research, I felt completely overwhelmed. Having Gail discuss pros and cons of various car seats, chart my daughters expected growth rate to determine which car seat would get me the most usage and sourcing car seats has been such a blessing. She is very professional and truly cares about what she does. If like me, you are unsure about which car seat is best for your child, Gail will help you from beginning to end. She is truly amazing as she doesn't just help you decide on a car seat, she gives you peace of mind knowing that you've done the best you can for your child's safety.
