All interested parties can have their child seat inspected by a Child Passenger Safety Technician. Please have your child seats installed prior to arriving at the child seat study. Your participation and feedback is greatly appreciated!

Eligibility: Age 18 and over, access to a 2002 or newer car

Dates & Times flexible: Allow approx. 30 minutes per child seat

	Forward Facing Car Seats A forward-facing car seat is one in which the child sits facing the front of the car. The seat should be installed in the back seat of your vehicle. Most forward-facing only seats are for children above 20 pounds.

	Rear Facing Car Seats A rear-facing seat is one in which the infant faces the back of the car. Always install a rear-facing seat in the back seat of your car. This is the safest position for an infant. NEVER place a rear-facing seat in the front seat of a vehicle with passenger airbags.
