Protect Your Loved Ones - Find The Right Seat The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) created the Car Seat Finder, a simple tool that helps families locate the appropriate car seat for their child. Enter your child’s age, height, and weight to see the suitable types of car seats. Then, use the NHTSA Car Seat Inspection Finder to find an inspection station staffed with certified technicians who can assist families in installing and correctly using their child’s car seat — often at no cost. This tool also offers a virtual car seat inspector, a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST), who provides guidance on car seat installation and use through a video call, enabling caregivers to have their car seats inspected and their questions answered from home.
