The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has determined motor vehicle crashes to be the number one cause of death of children over the age of six months in the United States. The proper use of child car seats is one of the simplest and most effective methods available for protecting the lives of our young children in the event of a motor vehicle crash.

Inspection Station at Rutgers University

Rutgers University Public Safety is committed to serving the community. The child passenger safety inspection station is open on the first Thursday of each month. During the scheduled times, certified technicians are on hand to assist in ensuring your child's safety seat is properly installed. If you are using a GPS to get to our station, please do not make the first left onto Bartholomew; continue down and make your second left onto Titsworth Place. A Google map can be accessed to see a street view of the inspection location.
