Car Seat Technician Training Course

Child passenger safety is crucial for protecting kids in cars. Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) are experts who help ensure car seats, booster seats, and seat belts are used properly.

CPSTs offer hands-on help to make sure children are safely secured in vehicles.

To become certified, CPSTs must complete a nearly 30-35-hour course. The course is created by experts from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and other safety organizations. It covers:

• Different types of car seats and how to install them
• How vehicle features affect car seat use
• Correct harnessing methods
• Hands-on practice to ensure proper installation
