How can drivers be sure their child safety seat is installed and being used correctly?
We recommend drivers follow their vehicle owner’s manual and the child car seat manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use. Installation tips are available from the main page of the SmartLove. For more information about child safety seats call ServiceOntario at 1(800) 268-4686 (TTY: 1-866-471-8929), fax: 905-704-2426. Brampton Fire and Emergency Services released a helpful DVD on how to properly install child safety seats. For further information on this DVD call 905-458-5580 or e-mail at firelife@brampton.ca. Similar information can be found on the Safe Kids Canada website at www.safekidscanada.ca or by calling 1-888-SAFE-TIPS (723-3847). Parents and caregivers, who are having difficulty installing their child safety seats or who want to have the installation of their child car seat inspected, may contact their local public health unit.
