Healthcare is constantly changing, and we believe not only in keeping up with those changes, but keeping ahead of them. It's because our commitment to quality healthcare is our first priority. It's what our patients deserve.
Prairie Lakes Healthcare System believes that protection in a car should begin with a newborn's first ride home from the hospital.
To encourage proper use of child safety seats, Prairie Lakes Healthcare System offers car seat education. Trained staff teach all aspects of safety related to car seats for infants and children. In this interactive session you will receive instructions on securing an infant as well as features of the infant car seat.
This individualized instruction will be followed by proper installation of the car seat in your vehicle. Our staff will check the installation for accuracy and assist you with any necessary corrections. The session provides one hour of instruction to help you make the best choices related to car seat safety as your child grows. Upon completion of the class you will feel comfortable taking your baby home from the hospital safely.

Car seat checks provide an opportunity to have your infant or toddler car seat checked by trained staff. You will be given an appointment time and should arrive with your seat already installed in your vehicle. Staff will check the seat and have you make any necessary changes to the installation of the seat. For more information or to schedule an appointment please call 605-882-7735.
