Richmond Child Care Resource & Referral

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, February 28th 2026
• Time: 12:00 pm – 4:00 p.m.
• Location: Brighouse Fire Hall No.1, 6960 Gilbert Road, Richmond BC

The Child Passenger Safety Program, launched by Richmond RCMP in 2022, continues to support families by providing guidance on the correct use and installation of child car seats. During the clinic, certified child passenger safety educators, including RCMP officers and trained community volunteers, will conduct individual car seat audits. These checks confirm that seats meet Canadian safety standards, are not expired and are properly fitted based on the child’s age, weight and height.

Each session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes and gives caregivers practical, hands-on instruction to help them feel confident in securing their child safely.

“We want families to feel supported and to know they’re not alone when it comes to installing a car seat,” says Constable Frank Bryson. “A quick session can make a big difference in keeping children safe.”

Advance registration is recommended due to high demand. Parents and caregivers can reserve a spot by calling 604-207-4761, Monday to Friday between 9 am and 5 pm.

Spaces are limited!
