Child Passenger Safety Seat Booklet
Are you using your car seat correctly?
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Is my child’s safety seat properly installed in my vehicle?
- Is the safety seat I am using the right seat for my child?
- Is my child securely seated in his/her safety seat?
- Is my child ready for a booster seat?
- Is my child ready to safely travel in a vehicle without a booster seat?
- Can my child be placed in the forward facing position before he/she is two years old?
- Is there a “BEST” car seat for my child?
If you are unsure, please consider coming to one of our Child Passenger Safety Inspection Stations.
