It can be a challenge to install a child car seat correctly, and if it is not done right, your child could be at risk of injury in a collision. If you could use some help to make sure you've installed the seat correctly, the specially-trained technicians at Fitzgerald Auto Mall will inspect your child safety seat for free.

From March through December, on the third Thursday of each month, Fitzgerald Auto Mall conducts free inspections from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on a first-come first-served basis at one of their stores; check their website, or call 301-548-4847 for the specific location.

If you are unable to attend one of the monthly inspection events, you can schedule a one-on-one appointment via the Fitzmall website. Individual appointments are scheduled Tuesday through Thursday at the Gaithersburg, White Flint, Wheaton, and Annapolis locations. The inspection is always free, though there may be a small charge for tether installation.
