You look like a great Car Seat Tech!

For over two decades, the Car Seat Program has educated thousands of caregivers on how to properly use and install car seats. Thousands of children have been properly secured in their car seats or seat belts thanks to the efforts of the many amazing child passenger safety technicians who make up MCFRS’ Car Seat Program. These technicians all have one thing in common: they care deeply about kids and want to make sure kids are safe on every ride.

The Car Seat Program is always looking for passionate, dedicated, and community-oriented individuals to become part of our team. If this description fits you, please consider becoming a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Technician. This year, we are hosting two certification trainings in Montgomery County and invite you to sign up. The first training will be held in May and another in October. Information on the trainings and how to sign-up is at the link below. Both trainings will be held in Gaithersburg.

CPS technicians use their considerable knowledge and expertise at a variety of community-based activities, such as child safety seat checks, where parents and caregivers receive education and hands-on assistance. Here in Montgomery County, we host car seat check on a weekly basis in Germantown, Aspen Hill, and Takoma Park with occasional events in Rockville and Wheaton. In addition to the checks, technicians educate the community on child passenger safety at community events, festivals, schools, and non-profit organizations.

Our program is highly rated and nationally recognized. We strive to provide a fun, friendly, and welcoming environment to caregivers.
