Child Passenger Safety

Keeping your child safe on the road starts with proper car seat use. Road injuries are the leading cause of preventable deaths in children, but you can take simple steps today to protect them. Make sure your child’s car seat is the right fit for their age, size, and your vehicle.

Did You Know?

• 26% of children under eight who died in crashes weren’t secured in the correct car seat.
• Kids should ride in the back seat until they’re at least 13 years old.

Residents of Cobb or Douglas Counties who meet certain requirements, such as receiving WIC/Medicaid or Peachcare, may qualify. Be sure to note your child’s age in the “Special Request” section when booking.

Special Needs Car Seat Inspections:

Safe Kids offers appointments for Special Needs children where we evaluate the child’s transportation needs to determine the appropriate seat. If a special needs seat is needed, we complete a Letter of Medical Necessity for the family to submit to their insurance company. Metro Atlanta Ambulance sponsors this program. Call us directly at 770-852-3285 to schedule.

Appointment Tips:

• Multiple Seats or Cars? Book a separate 1 hour slot for each one.
• Bring your vehicle and car seat manuals to the appointment if available.
