The Marion Fire Department does not offer child safety seat checks. 

However, there are a few local, independent certified car seat installers. Please contact  Angela Tastad, 641-781-8439 or Maddy Kent, 319-594-3445.

For additional contacts and information regarding local car seat installers please visit their Facebook group: Cedar Rapids Car Seat Safety. 

The best seat is the one that fits your child, fits your vehicle, and will be used correctly and consistently. Make sure that you purchase a seat that meets Federal Vehicle Safety Standards, has not been involved in a previous collision (seats purchased at a garage sale are questionable), and is appropriate for your child.
