Past: Car Seat Check Event

As part of Child Passenger Safety Week (September 17-23), MoDOT, Cape Girardeau Safe Communities along with other community safety partners will host free Car Seat Check Events throughout southeast and south central Missouri. Parents and caregivers with small children can ensure their car seats are installed correctly by visiting an inspection station throughout the area. Locations include in Cape Girardeau, Dexter, Farmington, Houston, Jackson, Kennett, Mountain Grove, Perryville, Poplar Bluff and West Plains.

Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians will provide education, perform car seat inspections, review expiration dates, discuss car seat installation, usage and car seat recalls. Checks take an average of 30 minutes to complete. Some inspection stations require appointments to be made in advance.
