Child Passenger Safety

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.

To be eligible for the OBB program, you must be a resident of Defiance County and meet WIC eligibility guidelines (If you are not a current WIC client, you must provide proof of income, proof of residency, and a picture ID). Car seats are available on a limited basis. Car seat classes consist of viewing an instructional video on car seat safety and assisted installation of car seat.
