Child Seat Resource Guide

For individuals cited under ARS 28-907A or 28-908B that are seeking resources for a child restraint system, the following resources are options to consider:

1. You have a child seat or have purchased a child seat, but would like assistance with installing the child seat in your vehicle:

   Goodyear Fire Department – Community Education Division

   Child Safety Seat Inspections: Goodyear and Litchfield Park residents can learn how to properly install their child safety seat. This service is available by appointment only.

          To schedule call the Goodyear Car Seat Hotline at 623-882-SEAT (7328)

               Or

   Submit a request online at the City of Goodyear website (www.goodyearaz.gov/government/departments/fire/community-education )

   Need help selecting or identifying the right car seat? Additional links are provided on the Fire Department Community Education page, such as the National Highway and Safety Administration website – Car Seat Finder Tool       ( www.nhtsa.gov/campaign/right-seat )

   See additional flyer from the NHTSA for car seat recommendations.

    

2. You do not have a child seat and need assistance with obtaining one: Children Are Priceless Passengers (CAPP program) – Governor’s Office of Highway Safety

CAPP classes are open to the public for voluntary participation and for drivers who receive a citation for a child safety seat violation. There is a $35.00 administrative class fee for the class. Child safety seats are provided as part of the class fee to those individuals who don’t currently have a seat or have one that is outdated (expiration date), recalled by the manufacturer, involved in a collision, unknown prior history, or with inadequate and/or missing parts. Upon completion of the class, participants are provided a certificate of completion which can be shown to the participating adjudicating court and their citation will be reduced. ( https://gohs.az.gov/highway-safety-programs/occupant-protection )

To attend a CAPP program class, please speak to a Goodyear Municipal Court representative. A one-time continuance will be provided by the Court to give you time to attend a CAPP course, so that you may return a certificate of completion. Certificates of completion will result in a suspension/waiver of the fine associated with a violation of ARS 28-907A & ARS 28-908B.

Arizona law requires that any child under the age of 8 and 4’9" tall must be in a child restraint when in a vehicle. Remember to keep your children buckled up and away from the airbags in your vehicle.
