Proper car seat installation is essential to ensuring your child's safety in a vehicle. Many parents unintentionally install seats incorrectly without even realizing it. 

The Glastonbury Police Department offers child safety seat inspections, conducted by our Certified Child Safety Seat Technicians, for Glastonbury residents.

Appointments (Required)

Inspection appointments are available BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, and attendees must be symptom-free. Please call to cancel your appointment if you are experiencing symptoms of illness.

Due to recent staffing changes, the Town is not offering car seat check appointments at this time. We will update this web page as soon as the new Community Outreach Officer can accept appointments. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Important Notes re: your appointment:

It is important to attempt to install the car seat (CSS) yourself prior to having it inspected.

A CSS inspection is NOT meant to be an install service, but rather an educational opportunity for the caregiver. It is not a one-time install/check with a “set it and forget it” mindset. The caregiver should be checking the CSS every time a child is placed in it for transport. The caregiver needs to know how to properly check the seat in order to ensure safe operation. Thank you!
