Child Safety Seat Fitting Stations Parents and caregivers in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Alamogordo, Farmington, Deming, Rio Rancho, Artesia, Carlsbad, Raton, and Las Cruces now have a free and convenient way to have their child's safety seat inspected, thanks to a public service provided by the NMDOT, TSB and Safer. Through fitting stations, parents and caregivers have access to personal instruction from certified technicians on the proper selection and use of their child safety seats. Fitting stations offer appointments during regular hours of operation at a permanent location with a consistent point of contact. This service is good news for New Mexico's families in light of a study that found the majority of parents continue to make mistakes when using child safety seats. On average, parents and caregivers make at least two mistakes, ranging from not securing the seat belt tightly around the car seat to not using the correct seat for their child. These mistakes leave children less protected by their child safety seat and dangerously vulnerable in the event of a crash.
