Parents and caregivers can reduce the risk of serious injuries and death by making sure children are properly buckled in car seats, booster seats, and seat belts that are appropriate for their age and size.
Washington offers State specific education on the basic use of child restraints. Any person that transports children in their vehicle can take the one-hour virtual class, free of charge. Proof of attendance will be provided after successful completion.
The information learned will allow you to safely transport children in your care but does not qualify you to conduct car seat checks nor advise or instruct others on car seat installation.
