Car Seats and Safety

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A CAR SEAT:

Want to make sure that your child’s car seat is installed correctly?

Want to know when your child is ready to move on to the next seat or graduate from their booster seat? Our trained car seat technician can help!
Car seat safety check is by appointment only. Each appointment lasts about 30 minutes per child. Please contact our office at (503) 623-4618 for an appointment.

Child passenger safety technicians will check your child’s seat for:

Correct installation
Recalls, damage, and expiration date
Best fit for weight, height, and age

Requirements:

The child who uses the seat must be present unless the baby is not yet born.
The vehicle in which the child travels must be brought to the car seat check.
Parents or guardians will be taught to correctly install and use the car seat.

Come with any questions you may have and leave with peace of mind!

IF YOU NEED A CAR SEAT:

We may be able to help you purchase a low-cost car seat thanks to community partnerships with Early Learning HUB, Mid-Valley Car Seat Coalition, Salem Health, and other generous private donors.

Eligibility:

Must be a client of Bambinos residing in Polk, Marion, or Yamhill Counties.
Our car seats are available two per child on a first-come, first-served basis. A second car seat is only given when the child has fully outgrown their first car seat.

Exclusions:

We cannot provide car seats to extended family members or childcare providers.

Unfortunately, replacements due to damage cannot be made. If you need a replacement due to a car accident, contact your insurance company for a replacement as part of your claim.

Deposit:

Effective 2/1/2025, a $30 non-refundable deposit must be paid in advance to Bambinos, Oregon in order to receive a car seat. You will be given a receipt and an appointment reminder to bring with you to your car seat appointment or car seat clinic where you will obtain the new seat. We accept cash, Venmo (see the QR code), or you can use this button to pay on our website by selecting “Car Seat” as your donation reason.
