Child Safety Seat Inspections
The Stephenson County Sheriff's Office is committed to the safety of our community’s youngest passengers. As a courtesy to Stephenson County residents, we offer free Child Safety Seat Inspections to help ensure that child restraint systems are correctly installed and used properly. Car seats that are properly installed can significantly reduce the risk of serious injury in a crash. However, a seat that is incorrectly installed may not protect a child in the event of a collision—and could even pose safety risks. That’s why our office has team members who are nationally certified Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Technicians. These trained professionals will inspect your child safety seat, verify that it is properly secured, and walk you through how to install and use it correctly.
Each inspection typically takes 30 to 60 minutes per car seat and requires the participation of a parent or caregiver. A valid ID with a Stephenson County address is required at the time of inspection to verify residency. We want to make sure you leave with confidence, knowing your child is riding as safely as possible.
