    Buckle Buddies holds car seat check events and child passenger safety classes throughout our community each month. No appointments are needed for the car seat checks – just drive up and nationally certified child passenger safety technicians will be available to assist with your car seat needs.

    At child passenger safety classes, you'll learn general car seat information that is tailored to your child's needs while also having the opportunity to get hands-on experience installing your car seat. A nationally certified child passenger safety technician is always present and ready to check your car seat installation at the end of class on-site. Each class lasts approximately one hour.
