NHTSA’s New App Shows Where to Get Car Seat Help

When my kids were younger the local hospital had a day for helping parents install their baby’s car seat correctly. It was basically a drive through service and was very helpful. I also got a free booster seat for my daughter when she got too big for the baby car seat. We didn’t have apps back then, so I’m excited to know the NHTSA has created one.

NHTSA’s Suite of Safety Tools In Your Hand When You Need Them
We just launched our SaferCar app for iPhone and iPod Touch devices, which can be downloaded from Apple’s iTunes Store. Development of the Android version is underway. The SaferCar app gives you immediate access to key safety information to help you make informed decisions, with features including:
Help with car seats: The app helps you ensure your most precious passengers ride safely. Quickly get driving directions to the nearest child seat inspection station and get assistance to properly install car seats and boosters.
Information for buying a car: Access our 5-Star Safety Ratings and compare them across different makes and models—right in the dealer’s lot.
Stay connected: Stay on top of safety issues for vehicles you already own. Use the app to register a vehicle and we will notify you if we find it has a safety issue. The SaferCar app also makes it simple to submit complaints to NHTSA regarding possible safety problems with your car.
Safety Headlines and Alerts: Download the App and receive important news and information from NHTSA, as well as recall notices and push notices on your recorded vehicles.
The SaferCar App is part of our ongoing efforts, as the nation’s chief automotive safety agency, to make it easier for you to access and submit information about important vehicle safety concerns. Earlier this year, we also updated resources on the SaferCar.gov website to enable consumers to quickly locate information on specific safety defect investigations, complaints and vehicle recalls.
“Timely, accurate, and accessible safety data is the lifeblood of our agency’s work,” said NHTSA Administrator David Strickland. “The new SaferCar app literally puts the latest in vehicle safety information directly in the hands of consumers so they can make the appropriate purchasing and other decisions for themselves and their families.”
