   Child Safety Seats


Child Safety Seats

This program provides child safety seats to low-income and economically disadvantaged families. To be eligible for a reduced cost, convertible child safety seat, the following requirements must be met:

1.   A child is no less than 5 pounds, and no more than 30 pounds for a convertible car seat.
2.   The parent/guardian agrees to pay a cost of $25.00 for the seat.
3.   The family is determined to be at 185% or less of the federal poverty income guidelines.
4.   The parent/guardian must attend a one-hour educational class on the proper use and installation of a child safety seat.
5.   The parent/guardian has a vehicle with working safety belts for transportation of the child and brings the vehicle to the
class.
6.   The parent/guardian agrees to properly use their safety belts, every time they ride in the vehicle.
 
 
>> If you have a child that is over 40 pounds, but younger than 8 years old and not yet 4 feet 9 inches tall, a backless booster seat is needed.  A backless booster seat positions the child so that the belt fits properly and the child isn't thrown from the vehicle in a crash.    Backless booster seats are available from the Health District for $5.00 to Lake County  residents who meet the above requirements.  Please call 440-350-2879 for more information.
