Car Seat Safety

Don’t take a chance. Have your child’s safety seat inspected! Car seat checks are available by appointment only.  Please contact the District’s Headquarters at 360-491-2410 during business hours (M-F, 8am-5pm) to schedule.  Due to the limited number of car seat technicians on site, we cannot guarantee same day service.  

 Washington’s New Child Restraint Laws

Effective January 1, 2020

• Children under 13 years old be transported in the back seat where it is practical to do so.
• Children 4 years and older must ride in a car seat or booster seat until they are 4’9″ tall.
• Children ages 2 – 4 years must ride in a car seat with a harness (rear or forward-facing).
• Children up to age 2 must ride in a rear-facing car seat.

For the best protection, a child should remain in each stage of restraint until they reach the maximum height and weight on the manufacturer’s instructions.
