Building communities that support the health and well-being of all.
Road injuries are one of the leading causes of preventable deaths and injuries to children in the United States and more than half of car seats are not used or installed correctly.
Correctly used child safety seats can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71 percent!
Help make sure every baby, toddler, and child travels safely in a car seat that fits their height/weight and is installed correctly.
Support our Buckle Up! Car Seats for Kids Giving for Good Campaign starting December 2 through December 31, 2025.
In 2025, Safe Kids Douglas County CPSTs (Child Passenger Safety Technicians) provided car seat checks for 468 children/families and gave 271 new car seats to low-income families.
