The New Mexico Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Division (NMDOT TSD) and Safer New Mexico Now will host an in-person car seat inspection, from noon to 2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 20, 2023, at Sisbarro Lube Express of Las Cruces, 425 W. Boutz Road.
This free educational event provides parents and caregivers instruction on the proper selection, installation, and use of their car seats from nationally certified child passenger safety technicians.
Technicians will spend approximately 30 minutes per seat educating parents on the proper selection, installation, and use of their car and booster seats. Parents and caregivers will also learn important information regarding common errors in car seat safety and be able to ask questions. If a technician determines a car seat to be recalled, expired, or otherwise unsafe, replacement seats will be available.
To participate in the Car Seat Fitting Station, parents and caregivers should bring their car seat, car seat manual, vehicle manual, and the child using the seat should be present if possible. Car seat inspections are by appointment or by walk-in.
Car Seat Fitting Stations are a free public service funded by the NMDOT TSD and are available to everyone. The child must be present to be considered for a seat replacement.
