Northern Nevada Fitting Station
Non-use and misuse of child safety seats is a widespread problem in Nevada, and motor vehicle deaths remain the leading cause of unintentional injury-related deaths among children ages 14 and under. Now there is a great new program to help address this growing problem.
The Fitting Station is operated through a partnership with Saint Mary's, Renown Health and the Regional Emergency Medical Services Authority (REMSA).
The Fitting Station is the region's first full-time facility to offer child vehicle safety restraint education, inspection and installation.
The Northern Nevada Fitting Station is staffed by nationally-certified Child Passenger Safety technicians and volunteers dedicated to providing parents and caregivers individualized tutorial instruction on the proper selection, use and installation of child restraints for their vehicles. In order to use the station clients are required to schedule an appointment. To schedule an appointment, please call 775-815-0981.
The Fitting Station operates on a sliding-fee scale. The full cost of installation and education is $45; additionally car seats are available for purchase. However we must install the car seat at the time of the appointment. The Northern Nevada Fitting Station offers a sliding-fee scale for both the installation and seat costs; the minimum fee is $5 per seat. In order to receive a reduced rate you will need to provide proof of income.
Please call for an appointment and directions to the Fitting Station. To schedule an appointment, please call 775-815-0981.
