Being a first time parent you go through all the worries and you follow every suggestion you read. For example, all books say that you should install your car seat and go by and get someone certified to inspect it, at either Highway Patrol or your local fire department. Michael had off today so we decided to get this done before I went into labor. Here, several people have told us to swing by Highway Patrol, they will make sure it is perfect, so we did. We were told that there was only one person that is certified at the station and he is in training for the next two days, but if we didn't want to wait we could swing by our local fire department. We went to the first one where we were told that ten of the men that worked there took the class six years ago, but not a one of them took any updated classes, in other words they were no longer certified. We then went to the other fire department in Roanoke Rapids. We were told there that no one was certified at this station either but we should check the police department, because they are now required to take the classes. So then we headed there... Poor Michael went in to find out, I stayed in the car. 10 minutes later (because no one was at their desk) he came back out and said that not a single person there is certified. So apparently there is only one person in Halifax County that is certified to inspect car seats. How sad?
So how can someone get a ticket for an improper installment on their car seat if there isn't anyone who is certified to know if it was properly installed in the first place?

You should call a car dealership. Although they may not be certified they will have someone that knows how to install them. (just call first)
Now I see why you weren't home when I called. One more episode to add to your hectic life. If Amy's suggestion doesn't end in any help, call and make an appointment with the one fellow who is certified for when he returns. Good luck! Keep in touch.
