Child Passenger Safety Program
The Riverside Police Department is dedicated to preventing injuries and improving the safety of children who travel in motor vehicles. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly half of car seats (46%) are misused. The Riverside Police Department has certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians who can help check the safety and proper installation of your car seat.
Car seat fitting stations are held at the Magnolia Police Facility once every month. The car seat is checked for any recalls, proper usage, and proper fit for the child. Low-cost car seats are offered to community members who need to replace an unsafe car seat. Parents participate in the installation process to ensure they will be able to secure the child properly every time. Parents, grandparents, and/or caregivers are encouraged to attend. The days and times of these events vary to make this service available to everyone. Each fitting is limited to 30 minutes so as to limit participant wait time and fittings will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
