Did you know the national misuse rate for child safety seats is 74-90%?
The Adair County Health Department is a child safety seat installation site, with a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician on staff!
Have a new car seat that you have questions about, or don't know where to start with installation? No problem! We offer assistance with car seat installation free of charge, by appointment, to help reduce and prevent the misuse of child safety seats.
We also offer free child safety seats (one per household) to those who qualify. An appointment is required to receive the car seat.
To schedule an appointment to get your child's safety seat inspected or to learn more contact, Kirstyn Dietle, at 660-665-8491 ext. 742.
