Story Behind the Curve
The Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP) provides car seats free of charge to MCHD for distribution in the community. Car seats must be inspected and installed with a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician and must include use of a checklist work sheet. Seats are provided to children and families enrolled in a social service program with presestablished income guidelines (WIC, Head Start, etc). A referral process is utilized to identify clients in need and appointments are scheduled at events in the community to meet with the clients. There is a one seat per child lifetime rule to ensure as many children and families are impacted by the program as possible
