CAR SEAT INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Waiver
I understand and agree that the service provided by the East Hartford Police Department, its police officers or CPS technicians assisting said department, is for the sole purpose of aiding in the reduction of injuries suffered by children resulting from the improper installation or use of child safety seats; that this service does not completely evaluate the quality, safety and condition of the child safety seat, its components or the vehicle which it is installed; that the responsibility of ensuring the correct installation of a child safety seat is the sole responsibility of the parent/caregiver; and that this is a service being provided free of charge to me. Every effort will be made to correctly install the seat(s) per the manufacturers’ specification and/or the latest best practices. I understand that a properly used child restraint can reduce fatal injuries. Therefore, I release the East Hartford Police Department and its officers or technicians associated with the Town of East Hartford from any liability, present or future, in connection with the installation or use of this child safety seat.
