Family Time Car Seat Training
Safe Kids Worldwide certifies child passenger safety technicians (CPST). They do this through their National Child Passenger Safety Certification program. CPSTs offer education by providing car seat training and inspections. The training curriculum is provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and over seen by the National Child Passenger Safety Board.
Yes, per the Family Time DCYF contract, hands-on or virtual car seat training is required every year for anyone who is providing transportation to DCYF clients under a DCYF Family Time contract.
No. You must have your car seat training completed by a CPST. Other trainings like through your local fire department, online, or the Alliance, are all good secondary training events. However, they do not meet the DCYF Family Time contract requirements.
You must have a certificate of completion for each employee, subcontractor, volunteer, that is completed each year. These must be available during compliance reviews and any other time you are asked for the document.

You can become a CPST and help train others. Learn more on the program website.
