CAR SEAT INSPECTIONS
One of the 15 greatest achievements in child injury prevention has been in child passenger safety. New babies are born every day and as kids grow their safety needs change. Parents and caregivers need to pay attention to those changes for at least age 13 when a child can correctly wear an adult seat belt.
Spring Lake Heights Police Department Patrolman Raymond Kwiatkowski and Patrolman Tyler Vadas are nationally certified C.P.S. (Child Passenger Safety) technicians. These officers have completed over 30 hours of training and are proud to provide car seat inspections to the residents of Spring Lake Heights and the general public.
A car seat inspection can be scheduled with either officer via e-mail. This car seat inspection provides parent(s) and/or caregivers with one-on-one time with a nationally certified C.P.S. technician.
During this inspection parents and caregivers can expect to receive:
- Proper education and hands on assistance
- Proper use of the child restraint systems and seat belts
- In depth instruction on specific age and weight requirements
Upon completion of an inspection, parents and caregivers will leave feeling comfortable and confident in handling and installing their car seat(s). A car seat inspection can take upwards of an hour, so we ask that you please plan accordingly when scheduling appointments.
These officer’s schedules are flexible and they are more than willing to schedule an appointment when it is most convenient for you, the parent or caregiver.
There is no charge for this service.
