Car
Seat Safety for Kids brochure
Phoenix Fire Department has
the state’s first two fitting
stations for car seat safety
- Fire Station 56 - 3210 W. Canotia Place
Phoenix, AZ 85086
(east of I-17, just north of Carefree Highway)
- Fire Station 32 -
7620 South 42nd Place
Phoenix, AZ 85042
(located on Baseline Ave. just east of 40th St.)
You must make a
reservation for a car seat inspection or installation (you provide
the car seat), call 602-495-KIDS.
If you see an unbuckled child in
a moving vehicle, call
1-800-505-BABY. Be
prepared to provide:
- the
license number and state on the car
- the
city where the violation occurred
- the
location of the child (front seat, driver's lap, etc.)
The vehicle owner will receive a letter saying that
an unbuckled child was observed, and that the law requires children
under five to be properly secured. The letter is not a ticket,
but serves as a chance to inform the owner of the vehicle about keeping
children safe in the car.
The number one killer of children
in Arizona is
motor vehicle crashes. One simple item could help save
countless children is a properly installed child safety seat
Did you
know that 4 out of every 5 child
car seats are installed incorrectly?!Did you know that one third of children are
riding in the wrong restraints for their age and size?
- Over 1/3 of children use the wrong restraint for
their size and age.
- Children 5 - 8 years old should be riding in belt-positioning
booster seats.
