Installing a Car Seat Correctly

Car Seat Safety

 

Car Seat Classes

This is a fun and informative class. It is free to the public and lasts about one hour and 15 minutes. It is held twice a month at the Utah County Health Department (located at 151 South University Ave, Provo, Utah) in room 2601. We guarantee that you will learn a lot and be happy you came!

This class covers the basics of child passenger safety including:

• Crash tests
• Correct installation
• Misuse
• Height and weight requirements and the different types of car seats.

 

 

Car Seat Classes

These are available most weekdays and are scheduled by appointment. It takes about 30 minutes to check for recalls, install the seat, make sure your child fits correctly, and send you safely on your way.
