Finding the right car seat for a child can be very confusing. Car seats come in a variety of shapes and sizes and their proper installation can vary dependent on the type of vehicle they are installed in and even who manufacturers the car seat.
The EPS, along with other agencies (policing and health), hold a number of child safety seat checks throughout the year to inspect for child safety seat infractions. Approximately 20 checks are scheduled throughout the year.
Inspections take a few minutes to complete and feedback is provided.
If you are cited for a child safety seat violation you may pay for the infraction ($115.00 fine), go to court , or take what is referred to as an “Option #4”. Option 4 requires a person to complete an education session on the safe transportation of children and adults in vehicles.
