Coquitlam RCMP is teaming up with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) and the British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA) on Saturday, October 25, 2025 for a free event dedicated to child safety! Certified technicians will check car seat installations and offer guidance, education and support to help parents and caregivers ensure their child’s car seat is correctly installed and used.

This drive-thru event will be held at Coquitlam Centre mall located at 2929 Barnet Highway in Coquitlam. The clinic will be set up in the southwest parking lot near the intersection of Johnson Street and Barnet Highway. Each session will take approximately 45 minutes for certified Child Passenger Safety (CPS) educators to audit car and booster seat installations while providing guidance, education and free takeaways.

“This event provides caregivers with an opportunity to get hands-on assistance to help ensure their car seats are correctly installed and used,” said Acting Sergeant George Han, Media Relations Officer for Coquitlam RCMP. “We understand that setting up car seats can be stressful, time consuming and intimidating.  At this event, families can be assured that their child car and booster seats are properly installed.”

Event details:

  • Date: Saturday, October 25, 2025
  • Time: 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
  • Location: Coquitlam Centre Mall located at 2929 Barnet Highway, Coquitlam
