What is a Car Seat Inspection Site?
A properly installed car seat is critical to your child's safety. But installing a car seat can be challenging. Car seat inspection sites are available across the state to install or check car seats for free.
A certified Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Technician can check or install your child’s seat at a car seat inspection site. CPS Technicians are trained on the proper use and installation of car seats and booster seats. They also check seats for recalls and ensure they are the right fit for your child's stage of development.
