Car Seat Safety Checks

Mountain View Fire Rescue is committed to helping families keep children safe while traveling. Our Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) are available to provide personalized car seat safety checks, education, and installation assistance for children of all ages and all car seat types, including infant, convertible, combination, and booster seats.

Car Seat Safety Checks are now available by appointment only.

To better serve our community and provide greater flexibility for families, Mountain View Fire Rescue will no longer host regularly scheduled car seat check events on the first and third Fridays of each month.

Instead, our outreach team will work directly with you to schedule a convenient appointment. We are happy to meet families at our Administrative Building or at any Mountain View Fire Rescue station throughout our district.

During your appointment, our technicians will:

• Review your child's current car seat and fit
• Verify proper installation
• Discuss harness and booster seat use
• Answer questions about child passenger safety
• Provide education to help caregivers correctly install and use their car seats

If your organization, daycare, school, or community group is interested in hosting a car seat safety event, our team may also be able to provide on-site car seat checks for multiple families.
