Child Passenger Safety
Program Goals and Objectives
In collaboration with the Butte-Silver Bow Fire Department, child passenger safety car seat clinics are conducted on a monthly basis. Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians on staff at the Health and Fire departments assess car seats, checking for correct installation, and whether the seat is proper for the child’s weight and age. Technicians also check for recall information, expiration dates and more. Car seats are also provided at no cost for those in need. Clinics are funded through grants, donations and fund-raisers. In FY17, 133 car seats were inspected, and 72 seats were donated to those in need.
