Stop by MCHD Monday the 22nd from 8am-9:30am, or Tuesday the 23rd from 12pm-2pm for a car seat check or a new car seat/booster seat. All services are FREE!
🚙Children under age two must ride in a rear-facing car seat that meets federal safety standards. Keeping children rear-facing for as long as possible is the safest option. If you need help, Child Passenger Safety Technicians across the state are available to ensure your car seat is installed correctly.
🚗For kids ages 2 to 4, use a rear or forward-facing car seat with a harness. For children ages 4 to 8, they should use a forward-facing seat with a harness or a booster seat, depending on their size.
🚙Once a child is 9 years old or has outgrown their booster seat, they can switch to an adult seat belt, but only if it fits them correctly. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure every seat and belt is used properly.
🚗MCHD has certified car seat technicians who can check your child’s current car seat or booster to confirm it meets the required safety standard. If you are needing a new car seat or booster, MCHD can provide that for FREE. Call 406-822-3564 today to schedule an appointment if you can’t make our walk-in clinics listed above.
