Car seats and boosters provide vital protection for infants and children in a crash, yet car crashes remain a leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 13. Selecting and using the right car seat correctly every time your child is in the car is crucial. Ensure you follow all the steps to choose the appropriate seat, install it properly, and keep your child safe.

The Boonton Township Police Department offers free safety inspections for Township residents of your child’s car or booster seat. We have officers that are Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians with which you can schedule appointments to inspect car or booster seats for proper and safe installation. These inspections include installation supervision, proper sizing determinations, and checks for consumer recalls. Our agency may also assist you if you cannot obtain the proper car seat for your child.

To schedule a car seat inspection appointment, please email jbecker@btpolice.org or call (973) 402-4020.
