Is Your Child Riding in the Right Car Seat?

2025 Child Passenger Safety Month

Car Seat Safety Check Events

The Bluffton Township Fire District invites families to attend our upcoming Car Seat Safety Check events, where Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians will provide one-on-one guidance to ensure your child’s car seat is properly installed and used. These interactive sessions typically last about 30  minutes and include checking the seat for recalls, expiration, and proper fit for your child. Parents and caregivers will learn hands-on installation techniques to feel confident securing their children safely.

Join us at one of our upcoming Car Seat Safety Check events:

  • Monday, September 22 · 3:00 – 6:00 p.m. · Station 30 — 199 Burnt Church Rd.

  • Wednesday, September 24 · 3:00 – 6:00 p.m. · Station 38 — 260 Raider Dr.

Appointments are encouraged to ensure personal attention, but drive-ups will be welcomed as time allows.

What to Expect at Your Car Seat Safety Check

  • Sessions last 30 minutes with a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician.

  • Bring your car seat manual and your vehicle owner’s manual.

  • If possible, bring your child. If not, please provide their age, height, and weight so the seat can be properly adjusted.

  • Technicians will guide you through installing the seat yourself, so you feel confident doing it correctly.

  • The car seat will be checked for proper fit, recalls, and expiration.

  • You’ll receive answers to your questions and leave knowing your child is riding safely.
