What is a car seat checkup?

Did you know that five out of six car seats are used incorrectly in North Dakota?

A car seat checkup can help ensure your child is riding safely. Certified child passenger safety technicians provide guidance on proper car seat installation and use, including checking that:

  • The car seat has not been recalled and meets federal safety standards
  • The car seat is installed correctly
  • The car seat is appropriate for your child's age, weight and height
  • Your child is secured correctly in the seat
