Child restraint systems are:
  • 71 percent effective in reducing infant deaths
  • 54 percent effective in reducing toddler deaths.

Car seats also reduce the need for hospitalization by 69 percent when used correctly.

Ask anyone who's been there: there is nothing so dreadful as an emergency room visit for a child. Especially when the injury was preventable.

Car Seat Safety Inspections

Over the past five years, Lutheran Children’s Hospital has checked thousands of car seats free of charge at special events throughout the community. Our team of inspectors is available to inspect child safety seats before discharge from either the childbirth center or children's hospital.

Our car seat team is trained and certified to ensure
seats are used correctly to protect a child. Together, we are committed to reducing the number of preventable injuries to children in automobile accidents.

*Lutheran Hospital does not provide free car seats.
