Richmond RCMP, in collaboration with Richmond Fire-Rescue, ICBC, and BCAA, is hosting a free car seat clinic this month to promote the safe and secure use of child car seats.
Event details
- Date: Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025
- Time: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Location: Brighouse Fire Hall No. 1, 6960 Gilbert Road, Richmond
The Child Passenger Safety Program, launched by Richmond RCMP in 2022, has successfully guided parents and caregivers in the correct installation and use of child car seats. During the clinic, certified child passenger safety educators, including Richmond RCMP officers and community volunteers, will offer personalized car seat audits. These audits ensure that child car seats meet Canadian safety standards, are not expired, and are correctly installed based on the child’s age, weight, and height.
Each audit session will last approximately 30-45 minutes, focusing on empowering caregivers with the knowledge to properly install the car seat and safely secure their child. The event provides caregivers with a unique opportunity to gain hands-on assistance and valuable safety insights to protect their children on the road.
“We welcome all drivers and caregivers with child car seats to attend this session to ensure their seat is safe and correctly installed,” says Corporal Adriana O’Malley, Richmond RCMP Media Relations Officer. “We know learning to safely install and properly use a child seat can be intimidating to new families, so these hands-on sessions provide an opportunity for guidance and feedback from trained experts in a supportive environment.”
Due to the event’s popularity, early registration is strongly encouraged. Parents and caregivers can secure their spot by calling 604-207-4761 from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
