car seat safety program
Did you know that the greatest danger to children older than age one is car accidents?
Did you know serious injuries and deaths can be prevented simply by using a child safety seat or restraint that is appropriate for your child's age, height and weight?
Dayton Children’s car seat safety program provides periodic car seat checks by appointment or can connect you with free car seat checks in the community so you can be assured your child is riding safely.
car seat checks at
Dayton Children's
Dayton Children's car seat technicians are available at various times throughout the year for car seat inspections. During an inspection, your car seat will be checked for recalls, then the technician will work with you to make sure your car seat is properly installed in your vehicle.
Most car seat checks take 30 to 45 minutes.
If you are expecting a child, we will be happy to help you install your seat and answer any questions you have before your child's arrival.
