For the first time ever, El Paso hosted National Seat Check Saturday, and the event was a tremendous success! Thanks to the incredible teamwork of our El Paso Regional Car Seat Partners and Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians, families across our community received essential education and resources to ensure their children travel safely.

During this milestone event:

• 87 families received hands-on car seat installation education
• 142 children were evaluated for safe travel
• 112 new car seats were provided to children in need

This first-ever event in our community proved just how powerful collaboration can be. Every child deserves to travel safely, and the support from our dedicated partners ensured that countless families left with the knowledge and tools they need to protect their children on the road.

We are incredibly thankful to the organizations and individuals who came together to make this event possible:

• Texas Department of Transportation
• El Paso Fire Department
• El Paso Police Department
• Horizon Police Department
• Texas DSHS Safe Riders
• Texas Department of Public Safety
• Constable’s Precinct 6
• El Paso Health

Their dedication to child passenger safety has set a strong foundation for years to come. This event was not only a success for the families who attended but also a major step forward in our community’s ongoing commitment to keeping children safe.

National Seat Check Saturday will continue as an annual event in El Paso, and we are excited to build on this year’s success. Together, with the support of our incredible partners, we are making a lasting impact on the safety and well-being of children in our community.
