ATFD car seat program
As of March 1, 2025
The American Township Fire Department (ATFD) is excited to announce that we have a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) on staff.
You may ask what a CPST is... Well that is a good question. Child Passenger Safety Technicians are car seat experts who have taken a roughly 40-hour class with curriculum written by NHTSA in collaboration with National CPS Board and Safe Kids Worldwide. During the class they learn the ins and outs of car seats, installation options, vehicle differences, harnessing procedures and more. They practice hands-on exercises where an instructor checks to make sure they understand what they are doing and why.
Firefighter/Paramedic Jeff Weaver is our CPST and is available by appointment for car seat inspections and car seat education at 419-339-3921. ATFD will be able to provide a limited number of car seats for those families that may be in need of one.
