Is your child's safety seat installed correctly? Are you sure?

Come by any of the FREE seat check events below and have your car seat/booster seat checked for proper installation.
   It could...
  save your child's life!

*Parents need to bring their vehicle owner's manual and car seat instruction book. Seat checks usually take between 20-30 minutes per seat. Please leave your child in the car seat when you arrive to ensure an accurate assessment of the seat's installation. GTIPI recommends contacting the sponsor to schedule a time to have your child's seat checked.

Parents: If you didn't find a seat check near you, try contacting your local police department, sheriff's office or fire department and ask if they have a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician who can assist you. You can also mouse over the Child Passenger Safety tab at the top left of this page and choose Find a Technician or Find a Fitting Station. Fitting stations are designed to educate parents about the correct installation of a child safety seat that is appropriate for the child's height, weight, and age. Some seat check events may provide parents in local communities the option of trading an unsafe seat for a safer one. For more information about which child safety seat to use, mouse over the Child Passenger Safety tab at top left and select How to Choose a Seat or visit GTIPI's "Links" page. If you need additional information or assistance, please feel free to contact GTIPI at 678-413-4281 or 800-342-9819.
