According to Safe Kids Worldwide, 73% of car seats are not used or installed correctly. Improper use of a child safety seat can result in injuries or death.

Safety Seat Inspection Program

The Automotive Safety Program and Indiana University School of Medicine, with funding from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, has established a network of Child Safety Seat Inspection Stations where parents and caregivers can make an appointment to have their child safety seat inspected by a certified child passenger safety technician. The certified child passenger safety technician will:

• Check for proper fit and proper installation
• Evaluate the child's current restraint for recalls
• Instruct the parent on how to properly use and install the child restraint
