Child Passenger Seat Inspections

Child Safety Seat
"The Hoover Fire Department strives to ensure the safety of children by providing a Child Safety Seat Installation / Inspection Program.
The goal of this program is to teach parents / caregivers to properly install a child safety seat in a vehicle. This program is not intended to be an installation service, but a "hands-on" training session for parents / caregivers on proper installation techniques of child safety seats.  Any parent / caregiver that presents a disability, medical reason or age impairment that would prevent them from assisting with the installation process, will have the child safety seat installed without their participation."

"Prohibited Circumstances: There are certain situations that will prevent HFD personnel from performing a Child Safety Seat installation / inspection, including:

  • when the history of the seat is not known
  • seat is damaged, excessively worn  or missing components
  • lack of participation from parent / caregiver"

Child Safety Seats can be Installed / Inspected at all Hoover Fire Stations between the hours of 10:00 am and 7:00 pm any day of the week. We prefer an appointment, but it is not required.
