Finding CPS Technicians and Check-Up Events

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has a Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Seat Inspection Station locator that includes Massachusetts information. These stations have one or more CPS technicians.

Safe Kids USA has a CPS Technician locator. You can use the locator's tool by selecting "MA-Massachusetts" in the state field.

Use both locators to search for the closest or first-available CPS technician. 

If after trying these locators you still need help, please call the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security's CPS hotline at 1-877-392-5956 or TTY 617-725-0261.

For additional statewide CPS information or assistance, call the Massachusetts State Police Child Passenger Safety Hotline at 508-988-7090.
