Schedule a Free Car Seat Inspection Today
Every day in America, millions of parents and caregivers travel with children in their vehicles. While some children are buckled correctly in properly fitted car seats, many are not. In fact, some are not even buckled at all.
According to 2015 data from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 46% of car seats are misused.
The Florida Department of Health in Charlotte County (DOH-Charlotte) hosts workshops to educate parents on how to choose the right seat, install it correctly, get the right fit, and know when it's time to upgrade to the next seat.
Make an appointment for a safety inspection. A certified technician will be on site to ensure your safety seat is installed correctly and properly fitted to your child.
For qualifying applicants, a limited number of car seats are available. As a parent, caregiver, guardian, grandparent, foster parent or designee you may qualify for a child safety seat for your eligible child(ren), dependent(s), or those whom you provide care, including transportation, on a regular basis..Only one car seat is allowed per child.
Call 941-624-7200 to schedule an appointment.
