To qualify to receive a car seat, the parent or caregiver must be in need of a car seat for the child and receive government assistance (e.g. WIC, Cal Fresh, Medi-Cal or Cal Works). After attending a class, the parent or caregiver will schedule an appointment to receive the car seat and have it fitted in their car.
