Child Safety Seat Program at CHOP

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia offers child car seats at no cost through its Child Safety Seat Program at CHOP. Anyone who cannot afford to buy a child safety seat can be referred to this program by a healthcare provider. To be eligible, you must be currently receiving public assistance and have a green EBT Access card.

How do I get a child safety seat?

You must have a written prescription/referral from a healthcare provider (doctor, nurse, social worker, etc.) along with an EBT Access card and photo identification. The prescription/referral form must state your need for a child safety seat, your child’s name, date of birth, height and weight. If you’re expecting, it must state your need for a child safety seat and expected delivery date.

You can now complete the application online.

Is there a cost to get a child safety seat?

There is no cost for this program. However, a donation is always welcome.
