Kohl's Cares Car Seat Check Program

The Kohl's Cares for Kids Program, which raises funds for children's health and educational opportunities has created the Kohl's Cares Car Seat Check Program at Rhode Island Hospital. The program provides education on car seat safety and car/booster seat inspections.

How the Program Can Help You

With the Kohl's Cares Car Seat Check Program, certified child passenger safety technicians from the Injury Prevention Center can help teach parents how to properly install safety seats in their cars. In addition, low-income families may qualify to participate in an educational workshop prior to their car seat check. When necessary, these families may receive a car/booster seat free of charge.
