How Safe is Your Car Seat?

Through a free program offered by the Fairfield Fire Department, trained and certified personnel will inspect your car seat and demonstrate the correct way to install the device for the maximum safety of its precious occupants. Personnel have been certified as Child Passenger Safety Seat Technicians through Safe Kids Worldwide.

The free review will take about 30 minutes. Inspections are scheduled on the second OR third Saturday eight times a year from 8:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. The check/installation will take place at Firehouse 31 located at 375 Nilles Road.

The technician will review the size, style and condition of the car seat with regard to your child, and then demonstrate the proper way to install the seat. Parents/caregivers will then have to install the seat themselves and the technician will check to ensure that it is correct! Parents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the seat prior to their scheduled appointment.
