HAPCAP is pleased to announce that we are now able to offer child safety seats through the Ohio Buckles Buckeyes Program!
The Ohio Department of Health's child passenger safety (CPS) program, Ohio Buckles Buckeyes (OBB), provides child safety seats and booster seats to eligible low income families in all Ohio counties. The overall goal of this program is to increase the availability of child safety seats for families who could not otherwise afford them and to increase correct installation and proper use of child safety seats.
Through the coordinated efforts of a network of local and regional CPS coordinators, the OBB Program distributes child safety seats and booster seats and provides CPS education. The OBB Program has distributed more than 17,000 child safety seats and booster seats to low income families in Ohio over the past five years.
Requirements for the Ohio Buckles Buckeyes Program *Only Available to Athens County Residents at This Time
In order to receive an OBB seat, income eligible families* must live in Athens county and attend an educational class provided by trained local CPS staff. In this session, the parent/caregiver(s) receives important education on how to properly use the car seat for their child, and they are instructed on how to correctly install the seat in their vehicle.
More information about the program can be found here, or you can contact Kathleen Bankes at 1-800-686-1093.
*income must be within WIC guidelines although recipient does not need to be enrolled in the WIC Program
