Child Car Seat Safety Check 2025
Vehicles inspected on a first-come, first served basis at this free event.
Certified child passenger safety seat officers will:
· Check the car seat to see if it’s expired or recalled
· Obtain the height and weight of the child
· Adjust harness straps to fit the child before the installation occurs
· Install the seat while making sure to teach and answer questions
Any installation or usage issues identified during the car seat safety check will be corrected and the police will not be issuing tickets for car seat violations.
More information about the law and how to check for car seat recalls is at www.southingtonearlychildhood.org/car-seats-laws/
Thank you to the Bradley Henry Barnes & Leila Upson Barnes Memorial Trust at the Main Street Community Foundation for helping the ECCS promote car seat safety to help improve the well-being of Southington’s young children.
