Important Information:

• Road injuries are one of the leading causes of preventable deaths and injuries to children in the United States.


• Studies show that over 50% of car seats are not used and/or installed correctly

THIS IS A FREE SERVICE! Theres is no appointment necessary, and the child does not need to be present. Simply arrive to any of our child seat inspections sites and CPS technicians will be there to assit you.




Our team of Certified CPS Technicians will provide parents and caregivers with a one-on-one tutorial demonstration including the proper installation and instructional use of your specific child safety seat(s).
