Did you know that, nationally, eight out of ten child car seats are installed incorrectly? The Eatontown Police are committed to preventing children's injuries and deaths in vehicle crashes by educating folks on how to safely transport kids. There is no single best car seat for every child or vehicle. It can be very confusing to decide what type of carseat to buy, or which features are important. Our Carseat Buying Guide can help you learn about many features, and has links to other websites with specific recommendations. Specific recommendations are a great starting point, but these vary greatly because someone else's personal preferences may differ from yours, as will the fit with their particular children and vehicles. One of the most important things is to determine which type of carseat you need, and be prepared to do some comparative shopping. Don't be discouraged if you have to try more than one to get a model that works for you and your child! The Eatontown Police Department has two car seat technicians on staff to assist residents in the proper installation and use of child carseats. Contact by email or phone; Ptl. Troy Fowlkes at 732-389-7830 or Ptl. Ryan Hennelly at 732-389-7638 to make an appointment for assistance.
