FOUR OUT OF FIVE CAR SEATS 
ARE INSTALLED INCORRECTLY...

Connecticut SAFE KIDS provides car seat checks throughout the state, as well as fitting stations.

Fitting stations exist in different locations throughout the state, mostly in police and fire departments.  The fitting stations have all of the needed materials to check child safety seats as well as certified personnel.  

Parents should call to set up an appointment, as many fitting stations check seats on certain days of the week.  Although the large clinics do still occur throughout the state, fitting stations are often more convenient for parents.

In order to allow enough time for your seats to be checked, please arrive early as it takes about ½ hour to check each car seat in your vehicle.
