Child Passenger Safety
 
The Child Passenger Safety program provides car seats and booster seats for infants and toddlers of income eligible families at no charge.  Certified Traffic Safety Seats Technicians are on-site and available to demonstrate proper installation, fit for child, and usage of car seats.

 

Community Impact At A Glance In 2007, 46 families received car seats through the Child Passenger Safety Program.

 

Application Procedure:
1. Please note there is an income eligibility requirement in order to receive a car seat.  Income eligibility guidelines are the same as WIC services.
2. Applicants should contact our New Bremen Office, at 376-8202, extension 237, to set up an appointment. Or, email us!
3. The applicant will need to fill out an agency intake form, Distribution of Agreement form, and Release of Liability form.
4. Before receiving a car seat, the recipient will need to review a training video that explains proper installation and use of the car seat.  Recipients will also learn how to properly install, fit the child to the car seat, and learn proper usage techniques from our certified Traffic Safety Seat Technicians.
5. The recipient will need to have a vehicle present in order to physically install the car seat themselves.
   
  The Child Passenger Safety program is funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration with a grant from the NYS Governor's Traffic Safety Committee.
