The Elburn and Countryside Fire Protection District offers the services of nationally certified child safety seat technician(s) to ECFPD District residents only on an appointment only basis. (Walk-in appointments cannot be accommodated.)

Please submit your request at least 14-21 days before the car seat installation is needed. Requests will be considered based on availability of car seat technicians. You will be notified within 7 days of your request as to if the fire department will be able to accommodate the installation request.

If you would like to have a certified technician install your child safety seat, please fill out the request form below.

If you'd like to make a child safety seat installation request in person, please do so at the ECFPD Station #1, Administrative Office, 200 E. Route 38, Elburn, IL or by calling 630-365-6855.  

Expectations for Installation:    
Please expect the installation to take at least 1/2 hour to 1 hour for proper installation (depending on type of car seat and vehicle), check, and to review installation with the owner per child safety seat. The installation requires the owner (of the vehicle) to be present while installation takes place. To help make sure your installation goes smoothly, please bring your vehicle’s owner’s manual (if available) and your child seat’s owner’s manual (if available). 

What to expect during your appointment:    

• Instruction and demonstration on how to correctly install your car seat.
• Ensure you are using the correct seat based on child’s age, weight and height.
• Explain the process for you to check and see the car if your seat has been recalled.
• You will be required to sign a waiver for the car seat installation.

We are committed to keeping children safe. Please visit the National CPS Certification for more information regarding locations of certified technicians, program affiliations, and information regarding certification. The Elburn and Countryside Fire Protection District has a limited number of nationally certified child safety seat technician(s) making it difficult at times to accommodate all requests.  The Elburn Police Department also offers the services of nationally certified child safety seat installers on an appointment only basis. If you need a car seat installed and we cannot accommodate your request, please contact the Elburn Police Department at 630-365-5070 to schedule an appointment.
