Family Resource Center

Everyone is eligible

In 2018, nearly 90% of children were not safe on the road in Yavapai County due to either improper installation, expired seats, child not in a car seat, or seat was not correct for their height and weight. The Car Seat Safety Program, made possible through a grant from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, provides a one-time 30-45 minute presentation and safety check regarding how to safely secure a child in a car or booster seat while demonstrating the proper installation of the seat into a vehicle. If the caregiver does not have a seat, if the seat is expired, damaged or not appropriate for the child, seats can be provided at no cost to the family.

This program is provided by appointment only and is performed at YRMC’s Del E. Webb Outpatient Center in Prescott Valley.

To schedule an appointment, please call 928.771.5651.

• Customized, hands-on instruction for the specific seat and vehicle, which is installed in the caregiver’s vehicle immediately following the presentation.
• Educational materials are provided to parents to ensure they leave the presentation with the ability to safely secure their child into his or her seat and can properly install the seat into their vehicle.
• The presentations, installations, education and safety checks are administered by trained, nationally certified child passenger safety technicians to ensure that all safety aspects are known and addressed.
