Child Passenger Safety
The Superstition Fire & Medical District is currently unable to take appointments for our Child Passenger Safety Program. Please check back for updates. Thank you.
Which car seat is the right one for your child?
Did you know?
- The number one killer of children in Arizona is motor vehicle crashes.
- One simple item that could help save countless children is a properly installed child safety seat.
- 4 out of every 5 child car seats are installed incorrectly.
- One-third of children are riding in the wrong restraints for their age and size.
- Over 1/3 of children use the wrong restraint for their size and age.
- Children 5-8 years old should be riding in booster seats that reposition the seat belt to fit the child properly.
If you see an unbuckled child in a moving vehicle, call the Buckle-Up Baby Hotline at 1-800-505-BABY, and be prepared to provide:
- The license plate number and state on the car
- The city where the violation occurred,
- The location of the child (front seat, driver’s lap, etc.)
The vehicle owner will receive a letter saying that an unbuckled child was observed, and that the law requires children under five to be properly secured. The letter is not a ticket, but serves as a chance to inform the owner of the vehicle about keeping children safe in the car.
