The Low Income Safety Seat Distribution
& Education Program
The Low Income Safety Seat Distribution
and Education Program promotes, purchases and distributes free child
safety seats to eligible families who can not afford them.
Child safety seats are purchased using a collection of funds from
the fines from child safety seat traffic infractions. More than
102,000 safety seats have been distributed since 1996 at over 135
distribution sites statewide. Ongoing annual training, assistance
and refresher courses are provided to staff to enable them to
educate safety seat recipients about correct installation and
use of child safety seats.
To qualify for a free child
safety seat Virginia applicants must meet all of the following:
-
- Resident of Virginia
- Parent, legal guardian, or foster parent of the child
- Last trimester of pregnancy, or provided for children seven years
old or younger who fit within the program safety seat manufacturer's
guidelines
- Available to attend a safety seat installation and use class
- Sign a waiver of liability release form
