Want to learn how to install your car seat for free?
Safe Kids Greater Houston hosts almost all car seat inspection stations and several events across the Greater Houston area. Our trained technicians will teach you everything you need to know to make sure your car seat is used and installed correctly.
Working For Change
One of the greatest achievements in child injury prevention has been in child passenger safety. Safe Kids hosts child restraint inspection events across the country. At these events, child passenger safety technicians teach families how to transport children correctly. They also help make sure everyone in a vehicle is buckled up on every ride. Most events are open to the public. You’ll find them in central locations such as General Motors dealerships, hospitals, community centers and shopping centers.
