San Bernardino County Department of Public Health is proud to offer monthly English and Spanish Car Seat Safety classes. The classes are free and open to parents and caretakers. Hosted in San Bernardino and taught by Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPST), the classes provide instruction on California buckle-up laws, how car seats and seat belts protect in a crash, proper seat belt use, correct installation of car seats, and more car seat safety tips! Participants of the Car Seat Safety classes are eligible to purchase a brand new low-cost car seat.
Additionally offered is our Violator Intervention Program for persons that are cited for not properly buckling up children and receive a referral from the courts or law enforcement. This is a fee-based class that will issue a certificate of completion for the court.
For parents and caretakers who simply want educational resources or to speak or meet with a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPST) for a free car seat checkup, an appointment can be scheduled to do so.
For more information or scheduling for any of the above, please call 1 (800) 782-4264 or visit dph.sbcounty.gov/programs/health-edu/car-seat-safety.
