Request for Virtual Car Seat Check—King County Public Health

To schedule a virtual car seat check, please provide all the information requested on this form. Please let the caregiver know that, after the form is submitted, we will email them so they can complete the hold-harmless agreement. Once we receive this form and the hold-harmless agreement, the caregiver should watch their email for a message from a technician, usually within a couple business days. If they don't hear from a technician after a few days, please send an email to info@saferidenews.com to let us know. NOTE: The information provided will not be shared with anyone or used for any purpose other than to assist the caregiver with the education that's been requested about proper car seat use.

A car seat checkup is an educational opportunity. To fully participate in an appointment, a caregiver must be sure to prepare in advance by reading the car seat and vehicle owner's manuals. Also, before the meeting, they should please try installing the car seat on their own. If the baby isn't born yet, they should plan to have a doll or stuffed animal on hand in order to practice harness use.
