Child Seat Safety Program

The Goldsboro Fire Department offers a Child Seat Safety Program to instruct adults in installing child passenger seats while reinforcing the importance of seat belt law compliance.

GFD Station 2 – 1900 Royall Ave

1st & 3rd Wednesday of the month

2:00 pm – 5:00 pm

For other weekdays, please call the Partnership for Children of Wayne County at
919-735-3371 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

If you have received a violation regarding a car seat, please call the Partnership for
Children of Wayne County to register for the car seat safety class.

Car Seat Installation

Our car seat technicians are available for appointments on the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. To ensure our firefighters can allocate their time effectively, we kindly request that individuals interested in having a car seat checked or installed make a reservation. This approach allows our firefighters to focus on their essential duties. We do ask that the children utilizing the seat be present at the appointment time to ensure proper fit for that child. Please note that we do not perform court-ordered car seat checks or installations; those services must be arranged through the Partnership for Children of Wayne County by calling 919-735-3371.
