We live in the Richfield/Edina area and it has been almost 6 years since we installed a car seat. I'm wondering if there are any suggestions as to where to go for an inspection? Our local fire department no longer offers this service and when I did a quick google search, I'm finding location out in Blaine/Anoka and they have dates for May, September, etc. We are due in February so that won't help. Also, I see they charge a fee? $25-35?
So, does anyone know where we could possibly go in our area for a car seat check? Do you know if other fire departments are still offering this service?
Thanks
Re: Infant car seat inspection locations?
I used this website NHTSA and had ours checked this past weekend. It was well worth it in my opinion. They were very knowledgeable and really taught us a lot and had us do the final install and they checked it to make sure we knew what we were doing if we ever needed to move the bases to other vehicles. I am on the other side of the metro so that doesn't help, but find someone in your area and leave them a message.
I had called the police, fire and state patrol and none of them in my area did this.
thanks!
