Car Seat Installation Station
Bloomfield Twp Fire Department
Make an appointment to work with a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. Learn how to make your child as safe as possible in motor vehicles!
Henry Ford Providence Hospital’s Trauma Prevention Services and Safe Kids Oakland County have partnered together with the Bloomfield Township Fire Department to provide free, educational car seat installation checks to anyone (expecting parents, grandparents, caretakers, etc.) who would like to practice installing their seat while learning valuable recommendations and safety guidelines from a Nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician.
Each individualized check takes approximately 30 mins per seat and is done by appointment only. This is an educational, hands-on event. Technicians are prohibited from installing seats for you. You must be able to install the car seat yourself before leaving the event.
We are currently out of convertible car seats (seats for newborn to 65lbs) as of 11/5/24. If you register after this date, you will NOT receive a seat from us.
We have a limited amount of convertible (5lb -65lb / rear to forward facing), high back booster with harness, and big kid booster car seats available to qualifying families (see attachment). We do NOT distribute rear facing infant only (RFO) car seats. A child weighing between 5lbs - 65lbs will ride safely in a convertible car seat when installed correctly. The child receiving the car seat must be present or mother in her third trimester. You do NOT need to be a resident of Oakland County to qualify. Please indicate below if you are in need of a car seat. Safe Kids Oakland County Car Seat Program.pdf
