Currently, the El Dorado Hills Fire Department is unable to offer car seat inspections or installations due to temporary circumstances. We anticipate this service will be available again in late spring to early summer 2026. We appreciate your understanding while we work to restore this important safety program.

The links below provide helpful information and guidance for parents and caregivers. We encourage you to visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Car Seat Safety website, including the Car Seats & Booster Seats Installation Help section

This resource provides:

• Help choosing the right car seat or booster seat for your child

• Easy, step-by-step installation instructions

• Safety tips and common mistakes to avoid

• A way to register your car seat with the manufacturer to receive recall alerts and important safety updates

If you scroll to the bottom of the NHTSA Car Seat Safety page, you will find a tool that allows you to enter your ZIP code to locate a nearby inspection station or certified technician who can assist with your car seat installation needs.

Thank you for your patience and for helping keep children safe on the road. Please check back for updates as this service becomes available again.
