Child Safety Seat Program

Child safety seats are made available for those with a defective or outdated seat that have a financial need. Seats are made available on a grant from the NYS Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  

Certified Child Safety Seat Technicians from the Health Department and Sheriff’s Office conduct regularly scheduled clinics, as well a participation in special events, fitting seats and distributing to families in need.  Child safety seat stations are conducted to educate parents and caregivers about the proper ways to transport children safely using child safety seats and seat belts.
