The Manteca Fire Department has adopted a service for the public in helping reduce the risks for injury or deaths to children. Through the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, we now offer free child passenger safety checks. Parents and caregivers are provided proper instruction and education on child restraint systems. Nationally, 4 out of 5 child passenger restraints inspected were installed improperly last year with an average of three errors per seat. During the installation, the car seats are checked through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for recalls.

If you would like to make an appointment for a car seat inspection, please complete the form utilizing this link: appointment.
