Child Passenger Safety

Motor vehicle crashes are the number 1 cause of death and injury to children and 90% of child safety seats are improperly installed. When a family has more than one car and transfers a safety seat between cars, this too causes improper installation due to the many different seat belt systems.

The Clermont Fire Department provides hands-on instruction to families or caregivers on safety seat education and installation by appointments. Please call the City of Clermont Fire Department Administration Office at 352-394-7662, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm to sign up for your Safety Seat Educational appointment.

National Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians are available by appointment by calling the Clermont Fire Department at 352-394-7662.
