Child Car Seat Program
The Cottage Grove Police Department offers car seat installation inspections by making an appointment.
CGPD currently has two certified technicians on staff to help parents and caregivers learn how to safely install the child seats in their own vehicles. An appointment generally lasts 30-45 minutes, with parent education and involvement being a primary goal.
It is best to have the child present and to bring your vehicle’s owner manual and child seat instructions (if you have them).
The car seat check will include the following:
- Assisting with the proper use of child restraint systems and safety belts.
- Inspecting and installing the child safety seat.
- Ensuring the individual safety seat is not on the current recall list.
- Answering questions.
You may schedule an appointment by calling: 541-942-9145, requesting an appointment with a car seat technician.
Motor vehicle traffic crashes remain the leading cause of death for children age 3 and older. Securing children properly in the back seat of the vehicle is the MOST effective thing parents and caregivers can do to protect them in the event of a crash. Proper child seat safety can reduce the risk of injury or death by 70%.
Conscientious parents make sure their children are in the child seats. However, 80-90% of those seats do not adequately protect the children riding in them due to improper installation. Protection can be compromised in several ways, including:
- The wrong seat is used for the child’s age, weight and height, or for that vehicle.
- A seat isn’t installed in the car correctly.
- A child isn’t properly secured in the seat.
