Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take?

Each inspection typically takes about 20-30 minutes per car seat.

How often should I have my car seats checked by a Child Passenger Safety Tech?

Check after any car accident, major trip, or significant change in the child’s growth.

Does my car have to be clean?

No, your car doesn’t have to be spotless, but it should be clean enough to give our technicians easy access to your car seat and surrounding area.

Do I bring my child?

While it’s not required, bringing your child can be very helpful. Our trained professionals can show you how to make any necessary adjustments based on your child’s age, weight, and height, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re safely secured on every ride.

Will I get in trouble if I don’t have my child’s car seat installed correctly, but come to the station for a check?

The goal of car seat inspections is to help ensure your child’s safety, not to penalize you. It’s a safe space for you to ask questions and get support, so don’t hesitate to seek help if you’re unsure about your installation.

I can’t afford a car seat, what can I do? 

Car seat assistance may be available upon request.

How much does this cost? 

Our car seat events are free and open to the public.
