About the Child Passenger Safety Program

Expectant families and families with children who are newborn up to 12 years old are able to receive free car seat inspections at Waverly Health Center. We have certified car seat technicians who have been trained to assist families in making sure their children are riding safely.

Each year, on average, more than one-third of all children under 13 killed in car crashes are not properly buckled up or in a car seat. Young children have an 80% greater chance of surviving a motor vehicle accident when restrained.

A car seat is one of the best ways you can protect your child while traveling in a vehicle, but using it correctly can be a challenge. Waverly Health Center hosts free car seat check events, where our nationally certified child passenger safety technician(s) will guide and educate you. You should leave confident that your child's seat is installed correctly and feel comfortable reinstalling it on your own. 

Upcoming free car seat check public events:

• Tuesday, April 8, 2025 – 5:30 to 7 p.m. – Waverly Health Center Maintenance Garage (Old Ambulance Garage) – 312 Ninth Street SW, Waverly, Iowa – Park in the Green Lot.
