In-Person Car Seat Inspection

The New Mexico Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Division (NMDOT TSD) and Safer New Mexico Now will host an in-person event.

Car Seat Fitting Station
from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, April 15, 2023, at the Sisbarro of Deming,
4210 New Mexico Hwy 549.

This free educational event provides parents and caregivers instruction on the proper selection, installation, and use of their car seats from nationally certified child passenger safety technicians.

Technicians will spend approximately 30 minutes per seat educating parents on the proper selection, installation, and use of their car and booster seats. Parents and caregivers will also learn important information regarding common errors in car seat safety and be able to ask questions. If a technician determines a car seat to be recalled, expired, or otherwise unsafe, replacement seats will be available. Car Seat replacement fee of $25 may apply.

To participate in the Car Seat Fitting Station, parents and caregivers should bring their car seat, car seat manual, vehicle manual, and the child using the seat should be present if possible. Car seat inspections are by appointment or by walk-in.
