Car Seat Safety Inspections

Auto accidents are the number one cause of death for children 6 months and up in the United States. Proper use of child car seats is one of the most simple and effective ways to protect children’s lives. Only the correct use of child car seats will offer the protection that children need.

We all want our children to travel safely in cars. Installing a car seat for younger children and babies can be a challenge. The Sammamish Police Department has two certified child-passenger safety technicians who can check to confirm car seats are installed correctly. During your 1-hour appointment, you will be shown how to use and install a car seat on your own, and how to properly buckle your child into their seat for safe travel.

Some details about the seat check are listed below. Appointments are generally available Monday-Friday during the following times. You can select a specific time, or if you are more flexible, a time window for your appointment, and our technician will select a time that works for their schedule.

 

Monday: 10am-4pm

Tuesday: 8am-4pm

Wednesday: 8am-4pm

Thursday: 8am-4pm

Friday: 8am-2pm

       

  • Each appointment (for one car seat) is approximately 60 minutes long. This appointment covers proper installation of your car seat into the car using both lap/shoulder belt and LATCH methods. We will also instruct how to harness the child (or doll) into the seat.
  • The car seat should be installed prior to your appointment and cannot be expired. We ask that the seat be installed so that we can document installation issues prior to receiving any training.
  • Please bring your car seat manual, your vehicle owner's manual and if possible, the child who will be using the seat to your appointment.
  • Please make sure that the back of your car is clean and clear so that our technician has enough space to work and instruct you on the proper installation and use of your child’s car seat.
