Gainesville CPS Week Car Seat Check Up Appt - Sept 23, 2026

Car seat safety check event hosted by Gainesville Fire Rescue during Child Passenger Safety Week. *** At this time, we do not have car seats available. This event is for car seat checks ONLY and there will NOT be car seats available for distribution. A car seat is one of the most effective ways to keep your child safe while on the road, but making sure it’s used correctly can be tricky. During your car seat checkup appointment, our nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician(s) will work with you in a hands-on, educational session to ensure your child’s seat is installed properly. You'll leave feeling confident in both the installation and your ability to do it yourself in the future. To help you get the most out of your appointment, here are a few tips to prepare: • Try installing the car seat in your vehicle ahead of time • Bring the instruction manual for your car seat • Bring your vehicle’s owner’s manual • If your child has already arrived, make sure you know their current weight and height Please send any questions to [email protected].
