Car Seat Safety Classes
Are you having a hard time purchasing a car seat at a regular cost for a newborn? Is the child outgrowing their car seat and you can’t afford one? Our classes can help you to get a car seat for a nominal contribution while learning how to use the seat correctly every time.
If you plan to obtain a low-cost seat you should meet the following criteria:
- The car seats are designated for families who are not able to purchase a car seat at a regular cost.
- If your child already has a seat, he/she is not eligible for another seat (for another vehicle). The seats are for children who currently do not have a seat or are outgrowing their current car seat.
- While this is not checked, many parents obtaining car seats have some governmental assistance, such as Medicaid, WIC food stamps or a Healthy Start referral.
Available seats are:
- Car seats are: convertible seats ($20) that stay in the vehicle and go from 5 lbs to 65 lbs
- Booster seats ($10) for children who are BOTH a minimum of 4 years old AND 40lbs
- Cash or money order will be collected at the time of the class
- The amount may change based on special needs of the child
Supplies are limited to one car seat per child and appointments are required.
Update: The $20 fee for car seats and $10 fee for booster seats will be waived during Oct. and Nov. 2024 due to the impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
