Car seat safety inspection

Car Seat installation can be challenging for a new parent or even a seasoned parent. Installing a car seat correctly will help ensure it performs correctly during an accident.

For your Car Seat a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician will educate you on:

  • Car seat selection: Ensuring the car seat or booster seat is in good condition and is appropriate for the child’s height, weight, age and developmental levels
  • Direction: Facing the car seat in the correct direction for the child’s height, weight, age, and developmental levels
  • Location: Placing the car seat or booster seat in the appropriate location within your vehicle
  • Installation: Installing the car seat or booster seat correctly in your vehicle and teaching you how install the seat on your own
  • Harnessing: Securing the child in the car seat, booster seat or seat belt

    I understand and agree that the sole purpose of this program is to help reduce the incidence of improper installation and use of car seats, booster seats and seat belts, and that this inspection and demonstration is being provided as a free educational service to me. I realize that the program sponsors and certified child passenger safety technicians inspecting the seat(s) cannot fully evaluate the quality, safety, or condition of my car seat, booster seat, or the vehicle seat, safety belts, or any component of the vehicle now or in the future. Furthermore, I understand that the actions taken in the program will not guarantee my child’s safety in a motor vehicle crash. I understand that it is important to read and follow the instruction manuals for both the vehicle and car seat. For these reasons, I hereby release any program participants and any participating organization or individuals, including the site owner, from any present or future liability for any injuries or damages that may result from a vehicle collision or otherwise.
