Local NC CPS Contacts and Resources

You can search through our database of programs and agencies in North Carolina that offer child passenger safety and seat belt information and technical assistance in their communities. Many programs offer the "hands-on" service of teaching parents and other caregivers how to install and use their restraints correctly. Following are the types of programs listed:

Permanent Checking Stations (PCS) are locations where parents/caregivers can receive information about child passenger safety (CPS) and have their child restraints and seat belts checked to be sure they are installed and used correctly. PCS locations listed on this site provide education and installation assistance by nationally certified CPS Technicians. Community programs that wish to be recognized as Permanent Checking Stations on this website must verifying that they meet criteria established by the NC CPS Training Committee.*

Buckle Up Kids - NC Safe Kids Buckle Up (BUK) programs assist parents and other caregivers by providing a limited number of low-cost child restraints and education on their use to qualifying families. Only trained, qualified personnel are allowed to provide educational and installation assistance to parents/caregivers, including those receiving BUK seats. Child restraints distributed by BUK programs are purchased through funding from the North Carolina Governor's Highway Safety Program.

Safe Kids - Safe Kids coalitions are affiliated with Safe Kids Worldwide to combat the causes of deaths among children caused by unintentional injuries and focus on the major unintentional risk areas of traffic incidents, fire/burns, drowning, falls, poisonings, and choking/suffocation. Local Safe Kids coalitions conduct a number of child passenger safety clinics and educational events throughout the year.
