ND Child Car Seat Checkup Event Locations

What is a car seat checkup?
Child car seat checkups teach parents and caregivers how to correctly use their child's car seat or seat belt. At the checkups, trained and certified child passenger safety technicians work with parents to assure that children are restrained according to their specific needs. Approximately 90 percent of child car seats are used incorrectly, so child car seats are check to be sure:

  • They have not been recalled.
  • They meet federal safety standards.
  • They are installed correctly.
  • They are appropriate according to the age, weight and height of children.
  • The child is secured correctly in the seat.

The agencies below offer routine car seat checkups throughout the year.
