Car Seat Inspections

Installing a car seat can be a challenge, but it's important to get the installation right so that the car seat can work properly in a crash. Safe Kids Maine conducts a variety of free public events statewide in partnership with hospitals, fire departments, police departments, and other agencies and organizations. Our Safety Van is fully equipped to conduct a car seat inspection event in any city or town in Maine!

Our Car Seat Inspection Stations are open year-round inside heated buildings where your vehicle is brought inside and out of the weather. All Safe Kids Maine Car Seat Inspection Stations are staffed by Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians. Please bring your car seat's instruction manual and the vehicle owner's manual, if available. Why should you have your car seat inspected?

Appointments are not required but they are strongly recommended! Having an appointment guarantees your spot, shortens your wait time, and allows us to prepare for your arrival! Arriving at an event without an appointment risks the possibility that we might not be able to fit you in if we have a full appointment schedule or you may be subjected to a long wait time. Schedule your appointment today!

Expectant Parents! We recommend that you have your car seat checked at least 4 weeks before the baby's due date. You do not have to have the car seat installed. We can teach you how to use your car seat straight from the box! Expectant Parents Poster
