Get your child's car seat professionally checked by a Child Passenger Safety Technician! Registration is required.
To ensure that children are riding safely, KISS (Kids in Safety Seats) will conduct a FREE child safety seat check at the Waldorf West Library to instruct and assist parents and caregivers.
Registration is required. Registration will open 6 weeks in advance. At this event during your appointment, technicians will demonstrate how to properly adjust, harness, and install a car seat. Each appointment requires 30 minutes. Technicians will ensure that the parent/caregiver will be confident in installing and using a car seat before leaving the appointment.
Drive ups accepted, if time permits!
What to Expect:
You will work one-on-one with a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. The CPS Technician will complete a check-list. The CPS Technician will teach you how to install and use your car seat correctly. Appointments take approximately 45 minutes per car seat.
Tips for a Successful Appointment:
Pre-install the seat(s) to the best of your ability. Know your child's height & weight, if applicable.
Bring both your car seat and vehicle owner's manuals.
Please:
1) Schedule one appointment per child. Important! If you have more than 1 child, make another appointment during the next time slot (i.e. 11:00 a.m. for child #1 and 11:45 a.m. for child #2).
2) For a successful appointment, PRE-INSTALL your car seat(s) to the best of your abilty and bring both the car seat and vehicle manuals.
