EnglishWhat Is the National Child Passenger Safety Board Website?
Updated
cpsboard.org is the website of the National Child Passenger Safety Board, an organization focused on child passenger safety education and training. It serves child passenger safety (CPS) technicians, instructors, and coordinators, as well as parents and caregivers who want reliable guidance on car seats, booster seats, and seat belt transitions. The site is associated with the National Safety Council, which provides its Board Secretariat and contact address.
What the site offers
The homepage organizes its content around a few clear purposes:
- Training courses — framed as a way to "turn curiosity into child passenger safety knowledge" and to help people protect children and educate families.
- Audience-specific resources — separate sections for technicians, instructors, and CPS coordinators.
- Child Passenger Safety Week — a September campaign with free resources, including social media assets and research from AAA and the National Safety Council.
- Spanish instructor materials — protected materials for teaching the 2024 Child Passenger Safety Technician Certification Training course in Spanish.
- Car Seat Basics for Healthcare — a free staff training with group delivery, course assignment, and completion tracking.
- Free car seat checks — online checks in English and Spanish through the National Safety Council, with instructions on scheduling an appointment.
