Car Seat Inspections

Our certified technicians will check your car seat installation, identify any issues, and help you make corrections right on the spot. We offer appointments at our fitting stations and can set up weekly or monthly check locations at partner sites throughout central Ohio.

What to bring: Your child (or child’s current height and weight), your car seat and your vehicle.

Community Events

We organize and participate in car seat safety events across the region. These events give families free access to certified technicians who can check installations, answer questions, and provide replacement seats when available.

Through community safety grants, we may be able to families replace car seats that are expired, recalled, damaged, or have been involved in a crash. If cost is a barrier to your child's safety, reach out — we may be able to help.
