Event Details
The Safety Seat Check Station Program provides hands-on help for parents and caregivers. This free service is to learn how to install and use the child safety seat.
The safety seat check takes 20-30 minutes depending on the safety seat and vehicle.
Parents and caregivers will be asked to complete a form to have the seat checked. A certified child passenger safety technician works with each participant. Technicians check the installation and that the seat is proper for the child.
To ensure that you have the best experience, here is how you should prepare:
For newborn installations, please schedule an appointment 1 to 2 months before your due date. Moms can deliver early and check stations take appointments weeks in advance.
For non-newborn installations, please try to bring your child with you or know your child’s weight and height.
Be familiar with your safety seat before having it checked. Review the safety seat instruction manual and install the safety seat. Bring the safety seat instruction
manual and vehicle owner’s manual to the safety seat check.
