A GUIDE TO IMPLEMENTING CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY INSPECTION STATIONS

Child passenger safety (CPS) inspection stations (also known as "fitting stations") are appearing in communities all across the United States. Although the concept of an inspection station for child safety seats is relatively new to this country, CPS professionals have been conducting such inspections for many years. This Guide is intended to: define a CPS inspection station; examine the need for permanent CPS inspection stations; address the importance of building community support; provide examples of successful CPS inspection stations; discuss the key elements of a CPS inspection station; and identify resources for implementing CPS inspection stations.
