Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among children ages 2 to 14. A primary reason for this is the nonuse/improper use of child safety seats and seat belts. Our goal is to ensure every child is properly secured within a vehicle during every trip. With backing from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS), clinics are conducted by CFD personnel who have been certified as child passenger seat technicians through Safe Kids Worldwide. Technicians ensure each child is safeguarded in the appropriate seat for their age and weight, and they provide one-on-one instruction to caregivers on how to properly install and use their child’s safety seat.
Kindly Note:
- Clinics are by appointment and are held on Saturday mornings when technician availability allows. Please check for new clinic dates on Mondays.
- Clinic walk-ins may be accommodated but may experience longer wait times.
- Due to availability of technicians while on-duty, installations are only done at clinics.
- The clinic address will also appear on the scheduling page.
- Appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes but may take longer depending on a variety of factors.
Schedule an Appointment
Car seat clinics will resume in November 2025.
Chandler Public Safety Training Center
3550 S. Dobson Rd.
Please note: We ask that you clean your car seats thoroughly prior to arriving for your scheduled appointment. Our technicians cannot do their job as effectively in a messy environment, and your installation cannot begin until the seats are clean. CFD will have some cleaning supplies at the clinic that drivers can use prior to their appointment.

See something, say something
If you see an unbuckled child in a moving vehicle, call 1-800-505-BABY. Be prepared to provide:
- the vehicle’s license plate number and state
- the city where the violation occurred,
- the location the child was in the vehicle (front seat, driver’s lap, etc.)
The vehicle owner will receive a letter saying that an unbuckled child was observed and that the law requires children under five to be properly secured. The letter is not a ticket but serves as a chance to inform the owner of the vehicle about keeping children safe in the car.
