In Cowlitz County, only ONE out of every twenty car seats that are checked by certified technicians is installed correctly. That's a 95% misuse rate!
Our CPS team of professionals is dedicated to correcting the misuse in our county by educating families on the proper way to install car seats. Through hands-on instruction, we show the proper way to install and use car seats--that way, parents can have the confidence to do it themselves and know that their child is safe! Check out our car seat FAQs. We currently have 13 CPS technicians that are certified through the 1-800-BUCKL-UP program. More are being trained all the time! We do car seat checks by appointment, and a technician may also be available at your pediatric clinic. There are also regular car seat clinics in our community. See our Events Calendar for details. For a list of CPS technicians that are available by appointment, please click here. For other CPS resources, please visit our resources page. To find out more about CPS and other vehicle-related safety topics, contact Brandi Ballinger.
