The South Jersey Traffic Safety Alliance established the Child Passenger Seat (CPS) Inspection Campaign in 2000. The Campaign is a long term commitment by the South Jersey Traffic Safety Alliance to organize train technicians and organize inspection events. The goal of the Campaign is coordinate random inspection events, throughout the four county region, in an effort to reduce the number of incidents of misuse, and thus resulting injuries, hospitalizations, and even deaths to children.
Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of deaths of children over the age of six months. The proper installation of child car seats is one of the simplest and most effective ways of protecting your child in the event of a accident. National studies indicate that eighty percent of all child passenger seats are installed incorrectly and will not protect a child as intended during an accident.
To make sure your child safety seat is installed correctly contact one of the certified technicians in your county or attend an Inspection Event.
