Phoenix Fire Department has the state’s first two fitting stations for car seat safety
  • Fire Station 56 - 3210 W. Canotia Place
    Phoenix, AZ 85086
    (east of I-17, just north of Carefree Highway)

  • Fire Station 32 - 7620 South 42nd Place
    Phoenix, AZ 85042
    (located on Baseline Ave. just east of 40th St.)

You must make a reservation for a car seat inspection or installation (you provide the car seat), call 602-495-KIDS.

If you see an unbuckled child in a moving vehicle, call
1-800-505-BABY. Be prepared to provide:

  1. the license number and state on the car
  2. the city where the violation occurred
  3. the location of the child (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.

The number one killer of children in Arizona is motor vehicle crashes. One simple item could help save countless children is a properly installed child safety seat

Did you know that 4 out of every 5 child car seats are installed incorrectly?! Did you know that one third of children are riding in the wrong restraints for their age and size?

  • Over 1/3 of children use the wrong restraint for their size and age.

  • Children 5 - 8 years old should be riding in belt-positioning booster seats.
