Car Seat Inspection
We are a State of Maine Bureau of Highway Safety Inspection station with a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician on staff.
We offer free car seat inspection services. There are no income requirements for this portion of the program.
Car seat technicians are specially trained to:
- Teach parents to properly install and inspect car seats
- Help parents figure out when it’s time to move to another car seat type as your child grows
- Offer guidance about car seat placement
This service is available by appointment only. NOTE: This service will temporarily be unavailable until Feb 1, 2020. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
To make an appointment, please contact Gail Allard, RN, CLC, Public Health Nurse/Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician with the contact submission form below or call us at 207-992-4553.
