At least four out of five child safety seats are improperly installed, according to recent estimates. Proper installation procedures can  vary according to make and model of seat, make and model of vehicle, and size of child.

Certified technicians at Northwest Fire District can inspect your child safety seat to ensure that it is in good working order, not a recalled model, compatible with your vehicle and appropriate for the size of your child. The technicians will teach you to correctly install your car seat into your vehicle and answer any   questions about the use of child safety and booster seats.  The service is free, by appointment only, and takes about 20-30 minutes.
