What you should know about this checkup: A car seat check (checkup) 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 virtual car seat check. 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. Ideally, follow up afterward by scheduling an in-person checkup when conditions allow, if possible.
