Car Seat Check-Up

Learn how to keep your child safe in the car by having your car seat checked by a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) at an upcoming car seat check-up event.

Did you know?

• Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for kids
• More than half of car seats are not used or installed correctly
• Correctly used child safety seats can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71 percent
• The back seat is the safest place for children to ride

A certified CPST can help:
