Car seat education and installation support

Free child car seat check events are happening locally for parents, parents-to-be and caregivers. Whether this is your first time installing a car seat in preparation for the arrival of a new baby or you’ve done this many times, installing car seats correctly can be tricky. Only one in four car seats are installed correctly according to national data. That’s in part because every car seat and vehicle is different and as your child grows, how they sit in your car will change.
Access a list of locations in King County where you can have your child's car seat inspected.
NOTICE: In order to maintain social distancing recommendations, many car seat checks will be postponed or cancelled. Please reach out to the event contact to confirm the status of posted car seat checks before you attend an event. If you are interested in a "Virtual" car seat check, please contact Laura Miccile at laura.miccile@kingcounty.gov or 206-477-8664.
