CHILD SAFETY SEAT INSPECTION CLINIC

Child safety seats, property installed and used, save children’s lives. Proper use of a child safety seat can reduce fatal injury by 71 percent for infants and 54 percent for toddlers. Motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 14 and under. Child safety seats and safety belts, when installed and used correctly, can prevent injuries and save lives. Unrestrained children are more likely to be injured, suffer sever injuries and die in motor vehicle crashes than children who are restrained.

75% of motor vehicle crashes occur within 25 miles of home. In addition, 60% of crashes occur on roads with posted speed limits of 40 mph or less.

Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services has trained Car Seat Technicians who will inspect your child's car seat to insure proper installation and safety for your child. They will also provide information to the parent(s) on how to properly install a car seat, how to secure their child in the seat, and when to upgrade the seat for their growing child.
