Free Child Car Seat Inspections

πŸš—We are partnering with California Highway Patrol to bring you FREE Car Seat Inspections on Saturday, November 9th from 9-1pm. You must register for an appointment to attend. Registration can be made for appointments between 9-12pm. Should your seat need some adjustments, appointments can take up to 45 minutes. If your seat is perfect, we'll let you know and you'll be on your way.

This event will be held in the parking lot of the Beresford Recreation Center at 2720 Alameda de las Pulgas. We will have our Certified Inspectors (our CSO's) joining CHP's Certified Inspectors to ensure that your little ones are riding safely when in your vehicle.
