972.874.3343

Overview

The Flower Mound Police Department is currently offering child safety seat inspections by appointment by calling the number listed above. This is to ensure that your child is secured properly when riding in the family vehicle. We understand the importance of safety when it comes to transporting such valuable cargo. Many people feel that since they have read the installation instructions and the child seems comfortable in the seat, that the child is safe. This is not always the case.

Assistance

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website, “Over the years, local, state, and national surveys have been conducted on child safety seat use. They reveal alarming statistics about the safety of children traveling in motor vehicles. Nationally, misuse rates are estimated to be about 80% and can be found in all races, socioeconomic, and educational levels. This means that children traveling in every community across America are being placed at risk for serious injuries or death because they are improperly restrained or not restrained at all. It is understandable that most parents and caregivers need to seek assistance for:

Installing the seat correctly
Obtaining information and experience that will lead to self-sufficiency for future use
Placing the child in the seat correctly
Using the correct child safety seat for the age/size of the child
