September 21-27, 2025: Child Passenger Safety Week

09/04/2025


Keeping children safe while traveling is a top priority for parents and caregivers, and often parents seek out information regarding car seat safety. Material created for this campaign covers topics every step of the way — from purchasing the correct car seat according to a child’s weight and height, to properly installing it, and when to move them to the next type of seat.

While child passenger safety is important year-round, Child Passenger Safety Week in September is a good time to increase communication related to child passenger safety messaging.

On National Seat Check Saturday, which coincides with Child Passenger Safety Week, many locations throughout the country will be offering free car seat inspections by certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians. Find out if an event or technician is available in your community by visiting www.nhtsa.gov/CarSeatInspection.
