The Jackson Police Department in Alabama offers free car seat inspections for parents and caregivers. As part of their commitment to ensuring the safety of children on the road, trained officers from the department will examine car seats to ensure that they are installed correctly and adjusted to the appropriate positions.

These inspections are not only helpful for new parents or those who have not installed a car seat before but are also beneficial for those who may have switched car seats or moved them between vehicles.

The process takes about 30 minutes and is offered by appointment only. During the inspection, officers will demonstrate proper installation techniques and offer advice on selecting the most appropriate seat for the child’s age, weight, and height.

Parents and caregivers are also encouraged to bring children along to ensure that the seat fits properly and is age-appropriate. By providing this service, the Jackson Police Department aims to promote child safety and reduce the risk of injury or death in car accidents.

To request an inspection, please call (251) 246-4484

We are available to help 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
