Child Passenger Safety
We’re committed to teaching caregivers how to keep their youngest passengers safe on the road.
Seat belts and child safety seats are the most effective way to protect children against serious injuries and deaths in motor vehicle crashes.
AAA supports families by offering resources and information to help.

By taking a minute to answer just a few questions in our online questionnaire, you can help keep your youngest passengers safe on the road.
AAA Car Seat Inspections
According to the National Digital Car Seat Check Form (NDCF) database, more than half of all car seats inspected by Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) are improperly installed and used. Yet, a general consumer survey revealed only 1 in 5 parents and caregivers seek expert help installing a car seat or securing a child in a car seat.
Should you need or want help, let a AAA CPST take the worry out of it. Schedule your free 1-hour car seat inspection. Here’s some of what to expect at your inspection appointment:
- We'll check to see if the car seat has been recalled.
- We'll ensure you're using the correct seat based on the age, weight, and height of your child.
- We’ll inspect your car seat’s installation and use and guide you through any corrections
