Car Seat Appointment Request Form

Car Seat Appointment Request Form

Yuba County Health and Human Services- Car Seat Program
Thank you for requesting a car seat appointment. Please read the following carefully, fill out the information requested, sign the release form, and submit. A copy of the form will be sent to your email and a Certified Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) will reach out to you in order to schedule your appointment.

What you should know about this appointment:

A car seat appointment is an educational interaction between a child’s caregiver(s) and a certified child passenger safety technician (CPST) to promote the safety of the child while riding in a vehicle. This form gathers important information from caregivers that a CPST can use to prepare for a successful appointment. While it is generally preferable to conduct checkups in person, a virtual checkup can provide essential education when it is difficult to arrange in-person interactions, including during inclement weather or when social distancing is imperative. Be advised that you are not guaranteed a free car seat by attending this appointment, but a technician may recommend seat distribution/replacement based on eligibility and observed needs during this interaction.
