The “Car Seat Check Form” App is now available for certified CPS Technicians and Instructors to download for free on Google Play or iTunes. Availability through Amazon is in progress, so look out for that later this year.
This app can be used offline or in connection with a Wi-Fi or data connection during car seat inspections. Here are some supporting resources for review and to share:

If CPSTs have questions after reviewing the app How-to Guide and supporting video, or would like to schedule a training for your state or region to orient your technicians to the National Digital Car Seat Check Form (NDCF), please contact Jennifer Booge at training@carseatcheckform.org. Feedback can also be submitted through personal NDCF accounts in the “Report Feedback” tab once logged in.
We are excited to share that technicians have created user accounts in all states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and Puerto Rico. And, car seat checks have been performed utilizing the NDCF in all but five states, including Puerto Rico.
Our thanks to everyone who has begun using or familiarizing themselves with this resource. Future plans include a robust data analysis plan that will be shared with the field to help identify trends and patterns based on information entered into this system. We look forward to sharing further updates in the coming months.
Respectfully,
Jennifer Booge
