California Child Passenger Safety (CPS) law requires hospitals, clinics, and birthing centers to provide new parents with car seat safety materials that include California CPS law and locations where they can get their car seat installed by a certified technician before discharge. As a service of Pro Consumer Safety, Pro Car Seat Safety provides hospitals, clinics, and birthing centers with services to ensure hospitals fully comply with and are maintained compliant under current law.
