Events

Safe Kids Maine conducts a variety of public events statewide.  A Mobile Car Seat Checkup Event Trailer is fully equipped to conduct a car seat inspection event in cities and towns throughout Maine.  If your agency is interested in sponsoring an event, please contact Safe Kids Maine at 207-899-9461 or e-mail safekidsmaine@tallpinesafety.org  

 

Please note: A "Car Seat Inspection Station" is a car seat checkup event that is held at a regular location on a regular day and time every month. "Car Seat Checkup Events" are events that are conducted at various locations and at various times throughout the year. Inspection Stations open year-round inside heated buildings while Car Seat Checkup Events are usually conducted outside during the months of May through September.   All Safe Kids Maine Car Seat Inspection Stations and Checkup Events are staffed by Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians. Please bring your car seat's instruction manual and the vehicle owner's manual, if available.
