2026 Car Seat Resources - Calhoun County

Bronson Childhood Injury Prevention partners with several organizations to provide car seat safety resources in Calhoun County.

Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) can teach you how to install your car seat, how to safely harness your child, and help you decide when it’s time for the next step.

• If you are an expecting parent, we will walk you through installation and fitting for your future child in their car seat.
• These programs may offer free or low-cost car seats for eligible children of all ages.

• The Bronson Birthplaces do not have car seats available for free after delivery. Please contact one of the programs below for support.
