Point of Impact Child Safety Seat Program
Nothing is more important than your baby. But your child safety seat comes close. Make sure that yours is installed properly and adjusted for your child with a free inspection from REMSA, the Safe Kids Washoe County Coalition, and community volunteers.
Don't trust your child's life with anything less than the best protection.
Just drive up to the inspection station. Make sure to bring your child and the safety seat you are currently using. We'll check your installation, check for obvious defects and determine whether your safety seat appears on a national recall list.
Attend REMSA's Point of Impact child safety seat inspection.
Because safe kids are no accident.
