Do you have a child in a car seat? Are you unsure if it is installed correctly? Do you have questions regarding when to transition your child from a car seat to a booster seat and then to a seat belt? We can help!

We have a volunteer car seat technician who would love to meet you and help you make your child safe in your car. We offer free car seat inspections to everyone. We will walk you through the process and observe to make sure you are doing it correctly – but all adjustments and installing will be done by you, so you gain the confidence and skill to do it on your own. 

At this time car seat checks are by appointment only. Please register by filling out the form and our technician will contact you as soon as they are able. If you are needing more than one seat checked, please fill out a request for both seats so ample time can be allotted for both seats. This allows our technician to schedule appointments correctly.

(Our firefighters are not certified car seat technician.)

 

Things to consider before you arrive:

  • Please arrive at your scheduled appointment time with an unpacked car seat, ideally with the owner’s manual. This helps if there are multiple appointments.
  • If you are unable to make your appointment please call 360-871-2411 immediately so we can alert the technician.
  • Since this is an educational appointment, please arrive with the car seat installed. However, we understand if you are unable to.
  • Having the child present for the visit is ideal; however, pregnant mothers, soon-to-be fathers, or grandparents are still welcome if the child isn’t present.
