Car seat installation

Jun 5, 2026 at 3:28pm

Since neither the Maplewood Fire Department nor the Maplewood Police Department help with the installation of car seats, does anyone have a suggestion where I can go to get some guidance?

Yes, Essex County residents have access to free child car seat inspection and installation programs. Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians will inspect your seat, teach you how to install it securely, and check that your child is harnessed correctly.

Thanks so much!! I really it. 


The MPD helped me with car seat installation. Officer Felix Trinidad was more than happy to help and also asked to spread the word that the service was in fact available:
