Car Seat Program
Car Seat Program
The Albany Area Child Passenger Safety Program, in partnership with the Albany Firefighters Community Assistance Fund (AFFCAF), has been awarded a grant from the Oregon Department of Transportation to assist income-eligible families residing within the city of Albany to obtain a car seat at a reduced price. To be eligible, the family must meet WIC income guidelines, the car seat program’s guidelines and currently need a new car seat as determined by the car seat technician through an assessment. If your child needs a car seat, a referral may be obtained from WIC.
Car Seat Program Guidelines
- One seat per child.
- There is a $30.00 co-pay per seat, payable in cash at the time the seat is received.
- Proof of being an Albany resident must be provided.
- Seats are distributed only by appointment.
- The child receiving the seat must be present unless the baby is not yet born.
- Properly fitting seats will be distributed; the program cannot provide infant-only seats. Convertible car seats are well-suited for small babies throughout the toddler & preschool years.
- The vehicle the child travels in must be brought to the seat check.
- Caregivers will be taught to correctly install and use the car seat.
