Who is Alexandria CARES is a private
non-profit educational charity dedicated to helping families effectively use
child seats in their cars. Our services include car seat safety inspections
and education on selecting, installing, and using the right car seat for
children of all ages. Over the last three years, we've assisted over 4,000
families with their child seats, saved 11 children (that we know of)
from death or injury, helped reduce the child seat misuse rate by 4%,
and given away over 100 booster seats to How can we help you? Alexandria CARES checks child
seat installations by appointment. Please call (703) 924-9294 for information about making an appointment and for
answers to your child seat questions and help with installation. Contact Mark
