Does Your Hospital ... ? - Page 5

Here they don't check, and I wouldn't let them anyway. I would leave AMA first - quite frankly insisting on even having a car seat is a) elitist and b) a little big brotherish to me (I'm in Canada) My Radian was installed by a tech, and checked over at an OPP car seat clinic... but I tend to be difficult when it comes to 'have to' situations anyway.

both checked baby was in the seat, but did not check that seat was in car correctly. the people were not approved/certified or whatever, so they could not do that part

For DS, we had to bring the seat to the front desk and show them the baby in it. The straps were a little loose so they helped me tighten them before we left. They did not go out to the car to make sure that the seat was installed correctly.

No, they do not check the car seat. I don't think they even waited for DH to bring the car around. I only had a wheel chair down at all because I had a csection.

They wanted to check, but we have a TrueFit, and it took forever for dp and I to get installed properly. There was no way I was going to take it out. DP likely couldn't have gotten it in right on his own. They were more than welcome to come out and check, though (but didn't).
They were confused, but said OK and told us to go to a seat check soon.
I don't know if it made a difference, but we used a midwife.

All are supposed to, but not all do.
