Too often children sustain injuries in car accidents that could have been prevented had the child safety seat been efficient and properly installed. At HAPCAP we want to make sure that your child is safe and correctly secured in your vehicle. Whether you simply can't afford a suitable car seat or are unaware of how to secure it correctly in your car we can help.
