Child Safety Seat Identification Stickers

Child safety seat emergency identification sticker

If a crash should occur, and the parent or caregiver is unconscious or fatally injured, these stickers ensure rapid identification of small children in car seats or boosters in the event of an emergency.

The parent or caregiver is encouraged to fill out the information on the sticker and place it on the right front corner (child's right) under the cushion or center back of the child's safety seat. The two small round stickers should be visibly placed on both sides of the seat. To obtain these stickers email CPS Coordinator, Amy Boggs at Amy.M.Boggs@wv.gov.
