Car Seat Inspections
The Unit’s Officers, have received extensive training regarding Child
Passenger Safety. They are able to inspect the installation of car
seats. A goal of the Traffic Safety Unit is to educate the public on the
proper use of their car seat. Residents should become familiar with the
instruction booklet for the car seat and any recommendations provided in
the owner’s manual of the vehicle. Traffic Safety Officers will inspect
connections and proper fit.
However, this service is offered only to Shawnee residents. (If you
do not reside in Shawnee, it is suggested that you check with you local
police department or the Kansas Highway Patrol.)
Shawnee residents interested in having a child safety seat inspected
must schedule an appointment for this service.

child seats, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration site
