Car Seat Safety Classes

Keep your family safe. Meet fellow parents. Build community.

This class is for you if you are:

  • Bringing home a new baby (You’ll need a safely installed car seat to get home from the hospital!)
  • Sizing up a seat for your growing child
  • Already own a car seat and need installation help
  • Your car seat has expired (YES! That’s a thing!)

What should I expect at a class?

This class is one hour long and is for all parents traveling with young children in vehicles. You will learn about car seats and how to install one in your vehicle.

What does it cost?

 All classes are held in English and Spanish from 5-6 pm at the Summit County Health Department Building in Park City. We will be in the downstairs conference room at 650 Round Valley Drive.

5 Quick Car Seat Tips for Parents

1. Inch Test: Grab the car seat base and try to move it. If it shifts more than an inch, tighten it. Ask someone to help if needed.

2. Pinch Test: Buckle your child and try to pinch the harness strap at the shoulder. If you can pinch it, it’s too loose. The chest clip should be at armpit level.

3. Forward-Facing Readiness: Switch to forward-facing only when your child is at least 2 years old and has outgrown the rear-facing seat’s height or weight limit.

4. Use the Top Tether: Always use the top tether with forward-facing seats. It reduces movement in a crash. Check your vehicle manual to find the tether anchor location.

5. Booster Seat Graduation: Use a booster until your child is at least 8 years old and 4’9″. The seat belt should fit across the shoulders and chest—not the neck or stomach.
