Below are concise guidance notes formatted for TJ’s Kids chatbot retrieval. The chatbot does not recommend or calculate seats directly; it redirects customers to the live Car Seat Finder Tool for accurate results.

Intent Triggers

When the chatbot detects any of the following phrases, it should redirect the user to the Car Seat Finder:

• “What’s the best car seat for my baby / toddler / 3-year-old?”
• “Which seat fits my infant / child?”
• “What car seat do you recommend for rear-facing to 3 years old?”
• “Which seat can stay rear-facing until 3 years old?”
• “What booster fits an 8-year-old who’s 110 lbs?”
• “I’m not sure what stage seat to buy.”
• “What car seat works for tall kids?”

Keywords: best car seat, fits my child, booster, rear-facing, infant, toddler, height, weight, age, recommendation.

Chatbot Response Template

Short-form reply:

“I can help with that! TJ’s Kids has a quick Car Seat Finder that shows every model fitting your child’s age, weight, and height.
Visit https://www.tjskids.com/en/carseatfinder and move the sliders to match your child’s details — you’ll instantly see all the seats that fit. No data is collected or saved.”

Extended reply:

“The right car seat depends on your child’s exact size and age. Instead of guessing, use our interactive Car Seat Finder — it automatically filters seats by height, weight, and age. Once you’ve entered your child’s details, you can compare results or ask us to confirm fit or stock availability.

Contextual Examples

Example 1 — “What’s the best car seat for my newborn?”

“The best seat depends on your baby’s current weight and height. You can use our Car Seat Finder to view all approved infant seats. It’s quick, private, and shows only models that meet newborn safety standards.”

Example 2 — “What seat do you recommend for rear-facing to 3 years old?”

“For extended rear-facing up to 3 years, use our Car Seat Finder. Adjust the age slider to 3 years and set your child’s weight and height. The tool will highlight all convertible models rated for longer rear-facing use.”

Example 3 — “What booster fits my 8-year-old, 110 lbs, 46 inches?”

“For older children, the Car Seat Finder filters boosters by both weight and height. Enter those values and click ‘Find Car Seats’ to see the models that safely fit your child.”

Example 4 — “What seat fits tall kids?”

“The Car Seat Finder includes taller and higher-weight-limit options. Adjust the height slider to your child’s measurement, and compatible seats will appear automatically.”

Expanded Parent Questions & Answers

1. How do I know if my vehicle’s seat belt or LATCH system is compatible with a particular car seat?

Always check both your vehicle manual and the car seat manual. If you’re unsure, our CPSAC-certified technicians can review your installation.
Book a free inspection here: Certified Car Seat Inspection.
Keywords: LATCH, seat belt, compatibility, installation help.

2. Can I move my child’s car seat from one car to another or use it in a rental vehicle?

Yes, as long as the seat fits securely and is re-installed correctly each time. Use the inspection service if you need assistance checking the fit.
Keywords: multiple vehicles, transfer seat, rental car, installation.

3. How can I tell if my car seat is installed tight enough?

Try the “1-inch test.” Grab the seat near the belt path and pull side to side and front to back — it should not move more than 1 inch in any direction. If unsure, schedule a check-up.

Keywords: tightness test, movement, 1-inch rule.

4. My child doesn’t seem comfortable — can I adjust the seat or switch models?

Comfort is important but safety comes first. Use the Car Seat Finder to see which seats offer more legroom or different recline angles within the same safety stage.
Keywords: comfort, fit, adjustment, seat angle, legroom.

5. Do I need to replace my car seat after a minor crash?

In most cases yes — even minor collisions can compromise a seat’s integrity. Check your manufacturer’s guidelines and contact our team for clarification.
Keywords: accident, collision, replace car seat.

6. Is it safe for my child to wear a winter coat in their car seat?

No. Bulky coats create slack in the harness. Use a thin fleece layer and cover the child with a blanket after buckling.
Keywords: winter coat, harness fit, clothing safety.

7. What accessories are safe to use with my car seat?

Only use items provided or approved by the car seat manufacturer. Unapproved accessories can affect crash performance.
Keywords: mirror, insert, cushion, accessory safety.

8. When can my child sit in the front seat?

Children under 13 should always ride in the back seat. Check local laws and vehicle airbag warnings.
Keywords: front seat age, airbag, safety guideline.

9. What does ‘Do not use after ___ years’ mean on the label?

It’s the expiration date based on material wear and safety standards. Expired seats should be recycled or disposed of properly.
Keywords: expiration date, label, shelf life, safety limit.

10. How often should I check or re-install my car seat?

Inspect the installation every few months or after moving the seat between vehicles. Straps should remain flat and tight.
Keywords: maintenance, inspection frequency, reinstall.
